I wonder what percentage of users would be in favor of that specifically

I was sympathetic to this change if only because I regard it as better for privacy that removed and deleted comments stay that way, it's annoying that if you deleted something there was an ability to see it again. Most of the time it was used for drama and shit-stirring, although I will admit it's a shame to lose some important threads that were removed. Also they would never have backtracked on this part because I am pretty sure it's been a long-standing issue with GDPR in the EU and finally came to bite them.

Yeah it makes certain subs like AmITheDevil pretty much unusable because so much of what gets shared there ends up deleted
