By contrast, NOSTR comments continue to work just fine.
Quite telling between centralized vs decentralized environments. NOSTR is indeed more resilient.
The author wanted to take down their account (to take a break) so this is actually working as designed. The takedown was issued from the author’s repository (which they control), and the downstream app server acknowledged the request.
I'm not sure I would necessarily draw that conclusion.
If the author intentionally deactivated their Bluesky account, does the fact that he can successfully do that on Bluesky lead to the conclusion that it's less resilient?
I think you've nailed a problem with all of these, they would make "deleting your stuff" HARDER. What's stopping the rogue node from saving all your stuff forever?
I think "trying to make a thing that can work through rogue or stupid nodes" is just prohibitively harder than "work on making nodes more reliable" (which I absolutely grant is extremely hard.)

The comment makes so little sense that it could only be intended as a dumb gotcha from someone who thinks they're fighting in some sort of culture war about the Twitter succession. Ignoring is better than encouraging.
