How to handle incoming Delete activities is already well-discussed elsewhere [1][2].
However, I have a hard time finding material on how to handle outgoing Delete activities. Specifically around this question: Who do I send such an activity to?
Naively, you might send the activity to the actor's followers. But imagine this simple scenario:
If we only send Delete activities to the followers of the actor, Alice will never receive the Delete activity and the Note will not be deleted, which is clearly not what Bob intended.
Another strategy might be to keep a record of all historical followers of an actor, and then send Delete activities to current and past followers. However, I am worried that this is not good enough either:
I am a bit dumbfounded at what to do in this scenario. I might be missing something, but it seems impossible for Charlie to know that Alice has the Note. The only way I could possibly see this working is that Bob receives the Delete activity (as he is a past follower) and then graciously re-Announces the Delete activity to his followers, since he previously announced the deleted Note. Then Alice would also receive the Delete, as the re-Announce of the Delete would also need to be sent to all past followers.
However this seems complicated and relies on the good behaviour of Bob to re-Announce to his past followers, and I see no way to discover if Bob never re-Announced the deletion.
Another option is to send Delete activities to all known servers, but this doesn't necessarily include Alice either I would think.
How is this done in existing implementations? This is making me think reliable deletions are impossible and I'd love to be proved wrong.

Hi everyone, it’s that time of the year again, when the air smells fresh, the flowers are blooming and systems researchers are locked in a windowless room because it’s the SOSP deadline! I wrote these hints on how to write an SOSP paper quite some time ago but I think it’s still a great reference for new and old students. https://irenezhang.net/blog/2021/06/05/hints.html

This is one of those projects that reminds me of the early days of #openstreetmap, when the dataset was sparse and parts of the road network weren't fully mapped.
Contributing is really easy. Just run one of the apps listed on the homepage and take a walk around your neighbourhood.
Wish there was more open data in Australia?
libre.net.au is a new online community that aims to provide a space for Australians to collect, analyse and publish free and open datasets.
We're still getting started, but if you'd be interested in helping out with an open source price tracker for Australia, come join our Matrix chat!
@ianthetechieIan Wagner Great, see you there! Are you in the discord for it?

Had a great conversation with 
@mikeMike McCue on the history of the hashtag, why Elon is wrong about it, the future of social networks (vis a vis #ActivityPub, #ATProto, etc), and how LLMs may intersect with social media moderation.
This was a good one.

Happy Tuesday!
Today we've updated the NodeBB community forum onto the remote-categories testing branch, which means that users on the open social web that identify themselves as "Groups" will be rendered in NodeBB as categories. Prior to this, they looked like users.
Here are some examples of remote categories:
ActivityPub "groups" and forum categories have quite a few things in common — they don't usually post topic themselves, they "contain" topics, and they are usually administered by a separate group of users (moderators!) In many ways, these groups lend themselves to categories much more easily than they do as users.

Bei #HartAberFair, Thema "MehrHärte beim Bürgergeld" behauptet 'Promi-Unternehmerin' Grupp-Kofler (deren Lobbyismus nie offengelegt wird) sekundiert von T. Kuban (CDU), dass "bei den meisten" Bürgergeld-Beziehenden "auch noch Schwarzarbeit" dazukomme.
Als nach 1/2 Sendung der Moderator doch mal nach Belegen für die mehrfache Lüge fragt, antwortet Kuban, es gebe da ja "solche&solche Statistiken", er wolle sich "nicht festlegen". Wahrheit, Lüge, Bauchgefühl - egal. Ein Hohn für Armutsbetroffene.

얼굴인식 사진공유 카메라앱 슈티를 함께 만들 분을 찾습니다. 앱은 출시되어 있어 써보실수 있습니다. 이번달 내로 페디버스 연동을 끝내면 제가 생각한 MVP는 완성입니다. 앞으로도 개발해야할 부분들이 많고, 개중에 기술적으로 흥미로운 문제들도 다수 있습니다.
지금 2025년 상반기 투자유치를 목표로 팀 빌딩을 하고 있습니다. 관심 있으신 분, 또는 잘 모르겠지만 이야기를 나눠보고 싶은 분도 bgl@gwyng.com으로 편하게 연락주세요.
@bglbgl gwyng 그나저나 슈티 앱 받으려고 했더니 한국 앱 스토어가 아니라서 못 받는다고 뜨네요… 미국 앱 스토어에도 올려주세요! 😭
