soooo ActivityPub, can we talk?

I ran some stats on the types of messages my single-user instance has received in its lifetime:

Create: 257,378
Announce (boosts, whatev): 39,168
Like: 16,723

These all seem normal.

Delete: 386,953 🤯

Why have I received more Delete activities than all other messages combined??

  @aaronpk To ensure the posts are deleted, mastodon sends the Delete activities to all known servers regardless of follower relationships!

  @aaronpk could it be people moving accounts between instances?

  @aaronpk maybe people fixing up their toots multiple times?

  @aaronpk I don't know for sure but I do know that some people auto-delete toots after N days so maybe that software is going wild.
