Deleting a Comment (lemmy.world)

I'm pretty confused about one thing.

When deleting your own comment, there always stays a placeholder in its place. I noticed this with my own and other lemmings posts.

So far so good, but i tried to reply to a deleted comment by another lemming and above the reply box was the full comment the other user deleted.

I mean the full content of the comment that was deleted.

Is this the normal behavior in Lemmy or is it Sync?

I mean, i want my deleted comments to disappear and not just hidden and for everyone available to read.

Please try it out and reply to my deleted comment in this post. Just above the reply textarea you'll see my deleted 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.
