You deleting your posts from your own instance doesn't magically delete them from every other instance.
Seems to be standard functionality according to this:

According to the same article it can fail if the server is malfunctioning. But I would assume only rogue servers would do this intentionally...like suddenly kick all users or a particular user out and lock them out of their delete option.
