This should be a pretty basic feature, just not having a private message be there anymore. But for some reason that does not work here?

I tried searching for this. I found a year old open issue on GitHub and some reddit users complaining about this very issue.

Talking with some people in the comments here, it seems like some people don't understand that one might not want a message to be in their face. Or the idea that just because something could be recovered doesn't mean we should treat it as an absolute

In my understanding, deleting (and moderation) are pretty much unsolved mysteries on this platform.

For example, last I heard, an administrator has to drop into a command line to delete media from removed posts, otherwise they'd still be accessible if the URL was known. (Think illegal material.)

Filtering is similarly done at the client end, so that's fun.

Note that I'm not associated with the source code, only as a user and am repeating things I've observed, read, or have been told. YMMV.

that's not true anymore, there's a dashboard built into the website now

That's good to hear.

Your instance still has to update, that feature appeared in 0.19.4

@w0odl@lemmy.radio, are you aware of this update?

[–] w0odl@lemmy.radio 3 points 1 month ago

I was, but with it being a mostly media heavy update, I wanted to put it off a bit. I'll look into it soon and maybe 0.19.5 as well. We may use image proxying in the future. This comment is mostly talking about new moderating tools. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
