I’ve made it so that when someone deletes their own post it is still viewable, including the comments. The post author and body will NOT be visible. Deleted posts will not show up in communities, search results, etc just as before - you need the URL of the post to get to it. Bookmark a deleted post within 7 days or it will be deleted for real.

Ask your instance admin to upgrade to v1.4.4. Chances are they’ll be on 1.4.x already so this will be easy for them.

    If it helps, I would like if a community moderator had both options (for either a post or a comment) - to scrub entirely (for e.g. CSAM) or to just remove the link from the community along with OP’s content but leaving the responses that it spawned beneath it intact

    I would too, but I feel like this makes an already cluttered moderator tooltip space even more cluttered.

      With my mod hat on, I’m perfectly ok with that. Tuck it away behind an “advanced features” hideaway or something, but it would be great to have

          My real goal would be a way of having the option of removing content that needs to be removed, without taking away genuine conversation and replies that were made.
