I'm still not entirely sure how all the coding about the federation works, but if you try viewing a different mander account through your own instance (eg https://programming.dev/u/Sal@mander.xyz) you can still see the account, whereas the fossilesque page says deleted.

    Does it actually say deleted? Since my instance does not have a cached copy of Sal's profile it shows an error when I try to view his.

    You can check through other instances if you're curious. Like I said I don't know much about fedi coding but when a user (or post) is gone on .zip and others I've seen it doesn't say deleted it just gives an error page. Sal's page is still visible but there's an error for fossilesque.

    However the old posts that she started are still around. I think that points toward her acct being gone because if she'd deleted the posts themselves they wouldn't be accessible. Here's one through my instance (I think it's one of the last ones she posted in science memes):

    I know this is a little old, but I had honestly been a bit worried about fossilesque awhile back when I noticed the pinned posts from science_memes were gone and fossilesque was no longer the moderator. Then noticed the weird stuff with the accounts, but was just hoping it was an intentional disappearing act to be in the outside world.

    I know it's really none of my business, but she was such positive influence around here, and I'm wishing her the best.
