Federation combined with keeping the historical federated data consistent is certainly a bitch. We can't have it all. It could be like email that only handles delivery at any point in time and history is purely local, but Mastodon specifically keeps the federated data public. Propagating the change on the historical data to the federated instances would be nearly impossible. I don't see how it could have been done better without sacrificing something else.
