Yeah - personally I don't mind it this way. To me, "Deleted by creator" is simply something more along the lines of, "I'd like to retract my previous statement".
Sometimes I get curious and reply to a deleted comment to see what they said, but generally I let it slide.
Sounds like you have too stable of a temperament to be a Lemmy server admin to me. Just wait until I tell you what I know about the guy who built a server just to downvote someone else on here, the one platform where downvotes don't matter.

This is not a bit. I found someone who did that.I can only look at that and dream of having such incredible levels of pettiness.
The problem with that is that comments that are removed by moderators behave the same way - that might actually cause legal problems if someone posts something that you're obligated to remove instead of just hiding it
