Dear aussie.zone users,
I can delete photos. Just give me the url of the photo you need killed and I'll happily delete it for you. But also, don't (accidentally) upload a nude.
Assuming it's not a joke that flew over my head, how could any individual instance remove the images once replicated? Is the removal from the original instance cascaded?
There's no technical reason you can't delete an image that's been replicated. There's an API to replicate the data, there can also be apis to delete the replicas (and apparently there are?)
