I went to reply to a thread on this post and it is completely gone? Is this an error with federation or some thing? I haven’t seen this happen before.

Unlike Reddit, when a user or mod deletes a post on Lemmy, its entire thread becomes completely inaccessible.
Such a novel concept these days. When you delete something it actually gets deleted.
Wasn’t the philosophy completely the opposite in the fediverse since when something gets deleted, it just politely asks other federated servers to delete their copies of that content too and they could just… not do it?
Yup
Can also happen that the delete request gets lost due to network or downtime problem
Late to the party, but to answer the question asked by the thread, we’re probably obsessively checking for new updates to install.
