When I delete a comment on Lemmy, people can still see that there used to be a comment by me that I later deleted. What’s the reasoning for that?

Edit: changed “post” to “comment”.

    Developer opinion. It used to work like that, but they changed it a few months ago. I don’t know why they chose this behavior, and personally I disagree with it. If a comment has no replies, just delete it entirely.

      Glad to hear I’m not the only one who thinks a comment without replies could be deleted entirely with no harm done… 😄
