Yea. The Tombstone object is available in #ActivityStreams but I think it is very tricky indeed to have a proper #prosocial wire implementation.

Suppose someone crosses the line in their conversation, receives harsh criticism, and decides to remove their post, now the wriggling tail of critique and judgment becomes detached from the popular originator toot in the thread. Unattached, floating freely in #social fabric, often without the context on why criticism was deserved. A harrasser comes off easy, one can say. They also have more chance to 'clean their slate', by showing better #behavior and re-earn lost respect if their comms violation wasn't too egregious.

A tombstone inserted in the deletion space, even when totally anonymised, still has mentions of the person in the following replies, which for a full-blown "right to be removed" would involve removing those too. Or else a respondent can make sure that the bad Monday someone had, remains carved in stone.
