How is this possible?

    Yeah - personally I don’t mind it this way. To me, “Deleted by creator” is simply something more along the lines of, “I’d like to retract my previous statement”.

    Sometimes I get curious and reply to a deleted comment to see what they said, but generally I let it slide.

      Sounds like you have too stable of a temperament to be a Lemmy server admin to me. Just wait until I tell you what I know about the guy who built a server just to downvote someone else on here, the one platform where downvotes don’t matter.

      This is not a bit. I found someone who did that.

        I can only look at that and dream of having such incredible levels of pettiness.

      The problem with that is that comments that are removed by moderators behave the same way - that might actually cause legal problems if someone posts something that you’re obligated to remove instead of just hiding it
