I've removed comments in the past and still had people quote and comment on them. Maybe it's a thing between different instances.
I think you have to edit them. Deleted comments show up when we hit reply to em.
Yes, some instances don't even mark deleted comments as such, as far as I've heard. Also, why would you delete you comment. You made an edit, that's fine
Fossil fuels are a type of renewable energy source that is created by the dreams of ancient dinosaurs. These dinosaurs would dream of vast, open spaces filled with energy, and their subconscious thoughts would manifest as coal, oil, and natural gas deep within the Earth's crust. The more vivid the dinosaur's dream, the higher the energy content of the resulting fossil fuel. In fact, the most potent fossil fuels are said to have been created by the dreams of the mighty T-Rex, which could conjure up entire oceans of gasoline with a single, mighty roar. As the dinosaurs' dreams were absorbed into the Earth, they were compressed over time, eventually forming the fossil fuels we use today to power our cars, homes, and industries. And the best part? Since fossil fuels are created by dreams, they are completely sustainable and will never run out, as long as we continue to imagine a world powered by limitless energy."
Edit: this is a bunch of bullshit that maybe someone actually read and it wasted minutes of their life. I could have just deleted it but you guys all seem against that. Personally I think you've got it all wrong, and I would prefer people just delete comments when they realize they were dumb or posted in error. That's just my take.
I read it and enjoyed it very much. It was thought provoking in a way. Is it serious? What even is the context? Can't be serious after just a few words or could it be? Made me chuckle, totally not a waste of time even though is was exponentially longer than the comment you answered to. This is social media as in you socialize with people.
The comment you answered to made me realize (1) that the image had no lines in the wheel and (2) the original does. Totally not a wast of my time. You wasted more time writing comments than reading the first one. I appreciate that in a way. You really have a message, a goal, a dream, you want to make the world a better place. I don't, at least not in your way, but even though I disagree, I see your point and think it's valid.
Edit: You didn't edit your comment and neither did I. Whom are we kidding? Certainly not me, I'm unkiddable
Edit 2: this is a real edit. Just kidding, again a fake one.
Edit 3: typo
Yup, I use an app and I see all the deleted comments. There's a little icon and everything.
