Around 5hrs ago we noticed multiple suspicious ‘remote delete request’ jammed JP’s pull queue from Mstdn.io (thanks for the notification from @noellabohttps://twitter.com/noellabo/status/1284272898589339648?s=21 ) . This problem is fixed but we haven’t figure out the reason for the mstdn.io remote request.
I also had a "Delete Activity Storm" on fedibird.com. At first, I thought it was coming repeatedly from the origin of the Delete Activity, but it wasn't.
This was due to an exception that occurred when the Delete Actor's Delete Activity was being verified because the target Actor no longer exists and Sidekiq would retry the job.
@Sujiyan@normandy@angristan@eal The deleted account will be held for a while to meet these verifications. However, it will be deleted when the deadline expires. The server may go offline. It may be delayed in response to the deletion and may not be in time. A retry that has been sleeping for a long time also occurs when you manually retry it.
@Sujiyan@normandy@angristan@eal ActivityPub::ProcessingWorker must not be present in sidekiq retries if the user or server has been deleted. Also, this worker is unlikely to succeed on retry, so it may be better to remove it uniformly from retries.
