  It should act like you deleted your account for that post.

  If you delete a post with comments, it should just remove your username from the post, but keep it alive.

  If there are no comments on the post, then it should delete the post completely.

  The best option is that you should get the option of removing your username from the post (soft delete), or completely remove the post (hard delete).

  Yes. That’s exactly what should happen.

  Like oking through the Lemmy github, its hard to determine what is designed behavior. The devs are on record saying that deleted posts are visible if you have the link, visible but only if logged in, visible but only for mods and admins, deleted permanently.

  They refer to the right to be forgotten, but also that comments add value and allowing a poster to effectively delete them is unwanted.

  I can’t figure out what is the most recent “as designed” behavior.

  I think it’s a can of worms to keep the thread alive, like you can never really delete posts. It is unfortunate that comments are lost, maybe it’s a feature that could be added to clients to cache visited posts?

  As a non post creator user: You cant As that post creator: Yes you can still see your post and the comments As a Mod: Yes you can still see everything As a Admin: Yes you can see everything.
