I don't know, don't think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's fair!

I got excited for a minute and checked if we could do that on Lemmy lol

It wouldn't be nice if everyone coule delete everyone's comments and posts, but you can block someone which deletes them from your life and that's about the same!

Well I was thinking just deleting comments off your own posts. People would probably be less likely to waste their time being nasty. I agree it isn't worth the drawbacks though when you can just block- my block list is over 200 lol
