I just mistakenly made a comment on my post on lemmy.world and while it shows deleted on jerboa (up to date app) I can see it on eternity and attempts at deleting say delete failed (not up to date) but more importantly I can view the comment from my main too.

Is this a federation issue thanks to 0.19, a pre existing federation issue or something else? This could be a serious issue if someone copy/pasted their password or smth by mistake (as I nearly did).

Deleted posts are deleted from their instance only. This is often synced, but it doesn’t have to be the case.

Anything you post, cannot be entirely deleted. So if you’ve accidentally pasted a password, I’d recommend changing your password.

Issue is the upvote on the comment has also been federated. I can see the upvote (post deletion attemp). I only upvoted the comment from my main to check after i had deleted it.

And no I didnt post my password tho it was on my clipboard and I could've tapped it with my fat fingers.
