Hi all, a small question. The following logentries look like they are stating some users are not available anymore, is this right? Can I safely remove those users if they are present on my system?

Mastodon tends to send Delete/Actor activities all over the internet for months(/years?) after a particular account is removed. It doesn't matter if your site never heard of that channel.

The real funny part is that it is a signed activity and you can't fetch the key to prove it is a real request because the key is gone along with the account. And if you wanted to block these unprovable silly activities you can't do it without storing some kind of cache entry; creating a local entry (using server resources) to something that's gone just so you can avoid wasting your server resources dealing with it.

@mike Just how again did this ever become the most popular and best known Fediverse software? O_o

Same reason why we ended up with VHS and Windows, I guess 😉

@Tanja I have often asked myself that. Lot of luck, in the right place at the right time? Well-meaning journalists with an article at the right time?

The one mutual feature successful (not: technically best) products have is a convincing marketing department. The conclusion of my professional life so far is that the designation of development is not so much to provide convincing products - but rather to reduce the gap that convincing marketing has to creatively bridge towards reality...

Because it's a lot like Twitter and people like to be in familiar territory.

@lotfi That, yes. And when compared with -for example- Hubzilla, it's very easy to use for non-tech users.

@Hans van Zijst Installing it, on the other hand, is a true pain in the behind compared to Hubzilla and any of its forks.
