Comment on Why does deleting a post not actually delete it?

Others don’t see the text of the comment though, it just says comment is deleted.

To answer your question, basically for Federation reasons (if I had to guess).

Its the same way with when you block someone, you’re not blocking them from the seeing you, you’re blocking yourself from seeing them. They can still respond to your comments and you wouldn’t know they had.

If you click “source” on a deleted comment, you can see what was written before it was deleted.

  Sounds like they’re caching the comments, and not honoring the deletion request by removing the comment from their cache.

With the Sync app you can still see the comment if you hit “reply”, as the reply view has a top box for reading the parent comment and making text selection and for some reason it retains the comment contents. Just an FYI

That’s a shame. That’s not a great way to do blocking, since it allows trolls to continue using your comments as a springboard for their bs.

It really shpuld be a two-way block.
