I have been curious of this one since it's a feature that mastodon has, and while I understand with FOSS software anyone can disable that, but usually people don't and if I knew they were doing that I would defederate them.

Admittedly I hadn't experimented to be sure, but I assumed edits and deletes would have been federated already. Are they really not?

Comment and post edits and deletes are federated. OP probably means account deletion. Currently, if you delete your Lemmy account, it does not federate, so your old comments and posts stick around on other instances, I believe even with your old username attached.
