@bocops @feditips Have you tried using automatic post deletion? Mastodon has this so not sure if you can do this otherwise.

@adamsdesk The posts in question aren't strictly Mastodon posts, but part of a Wordpress blog that publishes via an Activity Pub plugin _to_ Mastodon (and other platforms).

Because I've already deleted them on the blog, I can't repeat this - and I have no way of "logging in to Mastodon" as the post author to get them deleted any other way.

Whatever happens would have to happen either via Wordpress, or by some cache maintenance mechanism of the Mastodon instance, if such exists.

@bocops @feditips Oh okay, well this seems strange to me. In order to use ActivityPub plugin doesn't it require an account?

@adamsdesk @bocops

No, the ActivityPub plugin turns the blog itself into its own Fediverse server and creates its own accounts (that's why the account address has the blog's domain name in it).

@feditips @bocops Oh okay. Thanks for the explanation.
