Deleting a post vs deleting an entire comment tree
For context:
- Two big threadiverse implementors (and probably mbin) currently federate
Announce(Delete(Object))for deletion of content — all synchronized communities follow suit and delete the content as well. - If that object is the root-level node, and it is deleted, everything below it is also deleted.
- Lemmy and Piefed are investigating the possibility of changing this behaviour so that the action deletes the object itself only, and the reply tree stays.
