Is it federated, or would the purged content still be visible on other instances?

Hmm, it's hard to say. The purge record doesn't display anything like username searchable by the standard frontend, and it's still a lot rarer than normal removals. The top purge on .ml right now relates to this thread, shown federated to my instance, and it's neither of the ones visible there, but that could just be that it wasn't federated in time.

The reason given was that it's a reply to the wrong thread, which should definitely be a normal removal. The only clear-cut case for a true purge is doxxing or CSAM.
