With 0.18.2, 0.18.3 there were changes in the behavior of comment sorting and delete / remove behavior. It is entirely possible that behavior changed, intentional or otherwise.
There is a [email protected] community where you could create comments, do some screen shots before and after delete.
I mean there’s no way this is intended behavior. Others are confirming as well. You can just delete others’ comments along with yours (or at least their appearance in the thread)
I’ll say this: a lot of discussion seems to take place on Matrix chat that doesn’t make it into GitHub code comments as to why specific changes are made.
It used to be you could see the actual content of deleted comments and it was at the discretion of the client to show or not show them. The newcomers from Reddit (June) seemed to not like that people could read content of deleted comments, so I think changes were made for that reason.
With federation, it really isn’t reasonable to expect content copies to all be deleted. So it’s a complex issue.
