I was thinking about this recently… By going to a federated system, one that essentially copies all of your content from one instance to another, when you delete a comment, does that comment get deleted on every instance? Is that even possible?

    I used this loophole in the early 2000’s when I tricked my PC into thinking my VCR was a second monitor connected by S-video. I didn’t have enough storage space for all those episodes of Sealab 2021 and Aqua Teen Hunger Force I was pirating, so I recorded them to VHS to save costly data storage space.

    I still have those tapes squirreled away somewhere.
