Little add-on: The current behavior kind of makes the creator of a post the "owner" of the comment section. If they dislike an ensuing conversation, even if they're not involved in it, they just delete the post - "Fuck you, you're not having that conversation!". I find that problematic from an ethical perspective.
If they didn't do it the mods and admins will.
Power mods shape conversation here far more than Reddit mods ever did.
Yah, I was about to mention that, but left it out to keep the post brief and on point.
I'm not sure of that. My experience feels the other way around.
Maybe humans just deserve war after all
You are not entitled to the moderation you want, host your own instance, it's their club.

It seems you completely missed the point. I made no comment on moderation in any way, shape, or form.
The point is i think it is a moderation decision to do that, you are welcome to host your own instance with a modified version of lemmy.
The scenario I laid out clearly doesn't involve mods or admins. Though mods' or admins' intervention has the same effect. As pointed out by at least one mod here in the comments, it is problematic from their perspective too, because nuking entire threads by deleting one comment or post is a technical limitation, not a moderation issue
That comic is so full of shit. Anyway, enjoy brown nosing mods forever because the moment stop toeing that line, you're gonezo
