Agreed. Though the political opinions of the core owner (?) might be problematic for project growth.
For federated APIs though i tend not to think Privacy exists. "Delete me" is nice, but when it's already broadcasted to dozens of other instances it feels a bit moot. Still, worth doing right if you're going to do it at all - not sure why an instance owner would want to host everything indefinitely anyway. Storage concerns and all.
This whole conversation is making me want to take the plunge and check out ActivityPub. "It can't be that hard" lol, right?
Queue the narrator: "It was that hard".
