Description

Quick summary

There doesn’t appear to be any way to remove a post from Mastodon if the post has been deleted in Wordpress. Instead the Mastodon post remains live even after the post that created it in Wordpress has been deleted.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a post in WP.
  2. it becomes a federated post on Mastodon thanks to AP plugin
  3. i delete the post in WP.
  4. it remains undeleted on Mastodon and there is no means to manually delete it.

What you expected to happen

Ideally when the WP post gets deleted this would also delete the Mastodon post it created. Or, if not, it would be good to be able to manage existing Mastodon posts created by the AP plugin and ve able to manually delete it.

What actually happened

Post remained active in Fediverse and so links back to original, now deleted WP post go to a 404.
