The screenshot doesn’t make it apparent, but the user self-deleted that account.

As a user, it’s annoying when there’s good conversations in the comments that just disappear forever.

As an instance admin, it’s annoying to have that inaccessible stuff just taking up space until it maybe, eventually gets garbage collected months later (except any thumbnails/media…that lives forever wasting space 😠)

    Yeah, I think comments shouldn’t vanish along with a deleted post. And posts and comments shouldn’t get automatically deleted alongside an account. Somehow everything is just the other way around here. And it’s rarely a good thing.
