@jackyalcine Likes create a log entry {type: 'vote', value: 1} and "unliking" creates a another entry {type: 'vote', value: 0}, so nothing gets actually "deleted", but the app's UI knows how to not render the original like. We could also implement a "hide post" functionality, but this would be app specific, meaning that one app would implement it first, but probably the other apps would take some while to implement it, so you would still not have an immediate "delete" effect. We can/should eventually implement this kind of stuff, but even better would be to actually delete the log entry.

Check out #gabbygrove and its implementation in #planetary which allows soft deletes (also of the log entry), as well as the new #earthstar. If I remember correctly #bamboo also allows soft deletes.

(No such thing as a hard delete in a p2p system, because of eventual consistency, you can't be sure the post is nuked from every computer on the planet)
