As long as a deleted post is no longer visible in the publicly-accessible parts of the site, that would be enough verification for me.
I don’t know how the GDPR authorities verify compliance with mainstream proprietary closed source apps, do you?

Yes, although the server will not ignore the deletion activity if that server is running Lemmy. We’re talking about Lemmy here, not the fediverse as a whole. OP singled out Lemmy in the post title and said “lemmy devs are not concerned with…”
I’m sure there is more to be done in this area. It’d be great to know for sure which software treats deletion activities properly (I’m really unsure about Kbin, I think it does not) and which does not so instance admins can make informed decisions about who they federate with. Perhaps this information could be made available right within the UI that Lemmy admins use to control their instance, rather than an obscure documentation page somewhere…
IMO having deletes federate should be part of a minimum standard all fediverse software has to meet (plus mod tools, spam control, csam filters, etc) before it is allowed to federate but obviously we’re nowhere near having that sort of social organisation.
OP is simply incorrect.
I’m coding a Lemmy alternative right now and have been testing this functionality out extensively. Deletes of posts and comments certainly federate, I’ve seen the AP traffic to make it happen. Also, the docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/05-federation.html#delete-post-or-comment
I haven’t tested what happens when the ‘delete account’ button is clicked… Mastodon solves this by sending a ‘delete this user’ Activity to every fediverse instance so there’s nothing about ActivityPub that makes removing an account and all it’s posts in one go impossible.
The purpose of the base model is to make the more expensive higher end models look better in comparison than they otherwise would.

You know how if your email app stops working you can just install another one and still communicate with anyone else with an email address? The fediverse is like that except it’s not email it’s twitter and reddit and YouTube all rolled into one. So if twitter was part of the fediverse when Musk bought it and destroyed it you could move to another server with a better moderation policy and pick up where you left off.

Whenever another fixture of the 20th century leaves us, I spend a few minutes watching their clips, listening to their songs, reading their writing, or whatever they did. Gonna do that now.

And that’s just in Spain. Plenty of other Catholic countries out there, probably with similar incidence… Anyone wanna do a back of the envelope extrapolation? #lazyweb

A whole bunch of 8kun / 4chan garbage. If that’s not against the rules, it should be.
You have it backwards - we don’t find a cool project we want to contribute to and then try to learn the technology needed. Instead, we already know the language/tech/tool from our work or education and then seek cool projects to contribute to that use that language/tech/tool.
As a beginner you can’t expect to rock up to a github project and be productive or even understand what is going on. Usually open source projects are not extensively documented and no one will have time to show you around. That is no way to learn.
No one can be productive in more than a handful of languages/tools. Once you have more experience you will become specialised in certain languages and can seek projects that use those languages.
For now, try to find a situation where there are people around who will invest time in helping you to build your skills. A supportive employer, or tertiary education.
The initial enthusiasm is wearing off.
Check out these graphs (scroll down) https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They don’t show October yet, but there are some downward trends visible.
Interesting, that’s hardly noticeable. Perhaps your instance has less federation relationships happening than mine, or something.
btop!
It’s very pretty.
Here is a screencast of what happens to my 2 core server when I post something - https://kglitch.social/activitypub_cpu_and_net.mp4.
I run a single user instance, more or less, so there is little chance of some other user causing this load.
Some of it will be due to the way Kbin is built but I believe any software using ActivityPub to communicate will run into similar issues sooner or later, especially with network traffic usage.

Yeah. A lot of hand-wringing has gone on about it, e.g. https://gist.github.com/jdarcy/60107fe4e653819138396257df302eef. I’ll post this and then show you a video of server activity that results.
With some ways of looking at things, the world as a whole is getting better, rather than worse.

I’m pretty sure long covid and climate chaos will put a stop to that soon enough but we’ll see. For now, some stuff is getting worse and some stuff is getting better.
