I feel that there should be a rule that users are not able to delete posts over a certain threshold because it completely destroys all discussion that post had.

      Who knows how many people in the comments are talking about the location by the time you realize.

      Better be safe than sorry and delete it all.

      Now that I think about it, I’m not sure what the difference is. Why allow one and not the other? They are effectively the same. The only difference is how lemmy handles deletion where it deletes the whole thread under it, but that’s what lemmy should fix, not disallowing people to delete their comments. That’s a privacy nightmare and against the law in the EU.
