Deleting a post on Mastodon does not work the way you think. The post disappears to you, but if it has already been pushed to the people you are mentioning, they can still see what you wrote, because deletion often does not happen instantly.

3 times this week, someone responded to me, regretted it, and then deleted it. But their reply was already on my phone.

I think this needs to be fixed, because we all make mistakes, and wanting to clean up a mistake should be allowed. But it is not.
