Welcome to the hell of being a lemmy admin. There's a reason why lemmy admins are fed up with the developers.
Not sure I understand. How could there possibly be a solution? Isn't this an inherent problem with federation? You can't un-share information
But you can delete your copy, ask others nicely to delete theirs, and refuse to accept more copies of the same thing.
I'm not sure if Lemmy supports any of this, but it seems pretty important for e.g. child porn.
How can you refuse to accept more copies of the same thing, when you deleted all the version it can compare itself to?
When you get a deletion request, hash the bytes and store the hash.
