This is obviously a response to a carppost over here, so feel free to read it for his side of the story (wrong).
All this happened due to Kristallmopt, with Aevann asking ex-
what features they'd miss. Seeing deleted comments came up. It was made into an idea of a profile upgrade (purchasable in shop), where every poweruser would be able to see user-deleted comments (jannymopped stuff would remain invisible). It almost happened. I accidentally noticed it in codecel channel and said this:
It was then polled and despite carp trying to argue for it, rejected unanimously. Reasons? We're trying to avoid this site becoming a den of snakes where every turbosperg with 20k 
can go through your profile and find drunkposting that you deleted yourself months ago and use it to dox you. Also we don't want powerusers freaking out over minor shit and overwriting their entire comment history (which does happen more and more, annoyingly for readability of old posts).
This latter part led to a suggestion of making deleted comments just disappear from one's profile, as a way to make schizos less worried. We couldn't actually delete them from our DB entirely, for a variety of reasons, so this was basically just a visual bandaid to calm neurodivergents down a bit. Obviously it would only work if it wasn't public knowledge, so carp's spergout post made it pointless, and the idea has now been abandoned. You'll still be able to see your own deleted comments.
That part isn't a big deal. What is annoying, however, is that carp did argue for the former (bad) idea, while not saying a peep about the latter until the post that he made. Didn't vote against it, didn't say why this would be bad, nothing. Merely came on the site after it was approved and made its implementation pointless. That was supposed to show how our (((oligarchy))) is dysfunctional and we need a benevolent fish dictatorship, because (((oligarchy))) wants to take your features away. Also notable is that throughout that post he tried to gaslamp the userbase by claiming that we were doing it to be more like reddit (a position that literally nobody took or would ever take). This was what dominated his entire post.
That's about it. That's all that happened.

You heard it here first folks. It was unanimously decided by five jannies that you donโt want to be able to see your deleted comments and threads or be able to undelete them.
For those unfamiliar with groomcord, the color of these votes indicates that I did not participate.
Here it was walked back this morning after my thread. Compare this to the OP wherein he claims that you were never going to lose this feature:

Dad's comment is the only valid reason to remove the "view deleted comments" feature, any other reason is just unnecessary because schizos don't deserve to be coddled imo

They're now talking about recording edit histories, to get rid of even more ways of deleting dumb stuff you wish you hadn't said. This site is kinda obsessed with making everything go on your permanent record here.

TLDR: Idio sucks, carp rocks. If you actually care about users not doxing themselves, code in the nuke option for accounts. Otherwise no one gives a shit about Reddit platitudes and overtures about privacy.

This is the part I don't get. If you know the DB is accessible by petty, mentally ill r-slurs then you probably shouldn't commit anything to it that you don't want them to have. A nuclear option would be nice, but consider not drinking and dramaposting if inebriated self-doxxing is that much of a problem for you.

Is drinking and dramaposting a detriment to the site? Is whatever gain in making fun of people who typo in their first drafts really worth the additional user-reluctance to post? I like that Garry talks about his experience in a teaching hospital. Or the guy who had the dead horse in the pond that definitely made local news.

I agree with you, I think that's shit's all very entertaining and that a true RTBF-style obfuscate and delete option would be a good bone to throw to our resident oversharers. However, in its absence I'd advocate for improved opsec and taking care to maintain your anonymity if you're personally concerned about dox.

Could deleted posts and comments at least be under their own tab just like saved posts and saved comments? I know idio, it would only work if actually coded.

So your idea was to hide the fact that the DB keeps your deleted comments, rather than being honest with the userbase about the fact that you keep everything they post, even once deleted?
