@dansup @pixelfed Delegation of comment deletion may actually be an application of a feature I've fancied for a comms system, myself: https://miblo.net/ppic_notes.html#:~:text=Application%20of%20references,referee
There a comment would be a "reference" to a post (think a line connecting the two), and deleting it would mean cutting it loose so folks wouldn't be led to it from our post.
Also, with the ability to describe or mark the specificity of references, rather than deleting, we could say "their comment harasses our post".
So I'm in favour.
