Thank you 🙂 . I don't want offensive garbage in my timeline, so deleting it is mandatory. The Hide button is even more powerful; it hides not only a post and their children forever, by it also rejects any more posts below that tree that may ocassionaly arrive.

Of course, the Delete button, when used on your own posts, not only erases it from your timeline, but it also requests for the rest of the Fediverse to delete it.
