Is it actually possible to request deletion of something on someone else’s computer over the internet, and guarantee that its gone?

There’s definitely a bot with a user agent like “fedi big data” doing some scraping in my server logs, does anyone know who that is?

If your instance goes down, then you have no way of deleting your federated posts on your own. So the posts on my lemmynsfw alt will be up forever.

Gonna need a dashboard to keep track of my favorite dashboard projects, you in?

The only problem is it probably IS an adult human, a 85 year old running windows XP to check the church newsletter every Sunday.

(the newsletter is also hosted on xp)

The later people are paying to join and sustain an existing and thriving community built by the earlier people.

I feel like there should be an “are you alive” federation activity in activitypub, as well as an “I’m back” activity.

Servers go up and down enough that maybe it should be part of the spec

Go low tech, use libreoffice or something to make some card layouts, populate the fields from the CSV with a mail merge, print them and pin them to a wall.

This probably avoids an IT call because you should have these things already available.
