When I "delete" a comment, all it does is replace the text with "deleted by creator". It doesn't even hide my username. This is different from previous behaviour where the comment was entirely removed from the public view.

I should be in control of my comment. If I want to delete it then it should be entirely removed - at least from the public view. I don't want to make comments knowing that I'm permenantly etching my username into the stone of the thread forever with no ability to delete it. I'm highly put off from engaging now that I can't reliably delete what I write.

Being able to undo the deletion is fine but the undo really should only last 1h or maybe 24h before the comment is properly deleted.

Lol, seems we can also vote on and reply to comments after they've been deleted. That seems silly

I suppose this is to stop people deleting a comment and it removing all replies, which can be a bit annoying.

And also because afaik, if it's federated to elsewhere, votes can still arrive. Don't quote me.

Hopefully we can investigate these mysteries soon :)
