And seemingly nothing is actually deleted, just hidden. Boost for Lemmy currently has an interesting bug where any comment, deleted or removed, can still be seen by simply selecting "copy post text" from the menu, as the API will return what was previously there.

PSA, if you want to delete a comment or post, be absolutely sure you first edit it to be blank.

This seems like a server-side issue from Lemmy tho and one that should be pretty easy to fix. I mean, what's the point of keeping a deleted post on the server anyway?
