Hey [rimu@piefed.social](https://activitypub.space/user/rimu%40piefed.social) question to you about post removal...
If a remote user posts to a local community, and the local mod deletes it (let's say it's spam of off topic), does the local community federate a delete out?
Technically you're not **deleting** the content, just removing it from the community.
Is there a different action Piefed takes?
