I can't believe you said this!!!!
But seriously this means comments aren't truly being deleted
I came across some that had:
[This comment was deleted by an automated system]
But that was like 1 in 10 deleted comments i checked.
That's probably people overwriting their comments before they delete them. I wrote a script to do this before I nuked my Reddit accounts.
TIL
I think i'll just asdasd the content of sensible comments before deleting them.
For most comments i delete, i actually don't really care, now that i think about it.
I was just surprised, to be able read the comment.
yeah the last few weeks whenever we delete something, it will still show our username in perpetuity, but to make my actual comment go away I manually delete the comment And replace it with a hashtag.
Thereafter, people can still upvote the nothingness comment or downvote the nothingness comment and they can still reply to the nothingness comment If they're weird and they want to, and sometimes they are weird and they do.
Your comment show up as deleted for me. Deletions take a while to sync across instances, like anything else in the fediverse.
Yeah I can see it on Sync, through lemmy.ml home instance.
It is a little wonky, but you can just edit your comment after you delete it.
