that's correct, you can't mass delete your posts. this is because 1. there are servers that ignore deletes. meaning anything you've ever posted can be visible on them. we prevent deletes, NCD does, FSE does, some other instances. 2. sending out mass amounts of deletes is not only hard on our hardware but it's also hard on everyone elses hardware because the delete activity is sent once to every server for every post. so if you have 50k poasts thats sending 50k messages to 30k servers we federate with. thats 1,500,000,000 delete activities you are generating from poast. consider things you post before you post them
