    Well anything you upload to the Internet is very hard to delete. It’s just on Lemmy it’s more obvious. Anyways gtk admins can delete stuff

      If someone on my instance checks out a post with one of your photos, it will be downloaded to the pictrs folder on my server, and then served to the user. This is how Lemmy works.

      I don’t see how your boost can manage to delete it from there.

        Yes, the deletion would have to be federated, there is no way to guarantee anything at that point. But as I understand OP this is about acting quickly, on an upload that isn’t even part of a post yet.

        If I doxx myself on any service, someone can take a screenshot, it could be archived. But If I delete it before anyone sees it, there is a good chance it will never get out, if the primary platform properly removes it.
