@delta @cehteh Why there is no "I actively don't like this change" in the quiz? About "retracting" "your" messages. Please, if you really want to cater to what other messengers are doing (unfortunately) at least add a big warning that this is best effort, depends entirely on cooperation from other clients/devices in the chat and does not provide any guarantees. Especially considering that people can use regular email clients which will never (hopefully) support that.
And ideally I would love to see a toggle to silently disable this behaviour of respecting deletion "orders" locally. This way you will avoid confrontation with your own userbase. You don't want to go the path of "your client will respect orders from some remote party regardless of what you want", right?
