Deleting a post vs deleting an entire comment tree

For context: <ul> <li>Two big threadiverse implementors (and probably mbin) currently federate <code>Announce(Delete(Object))</code> for deletion of content — all synchronized communities follow suit and delete the content as well.</li> <li>If that object is the root-level node, and it is deleted, everything below it is also deleted.</li> <li>Lemmy and Piefed are investigating the possibility of changing this behaviour so that the action deletes the object itself only, and the reply tree stays.</li> </ul>
