You’re assuming proper design. I’ve worked on systems where filtering was done client-side (and fixed that), it’s stupid, but it’s what happens when a FE is assigned a task and uses the tools at their disposal. In fact, I think Lemmy used to filter deleted comments clientside a few versions ago.
If they were deleting contents client-side then you could get around the filters by using something like tweet deck. Since we know that doesn’t work we know that the filtering can’t be done client-side.
