Sadge. What was the motive to have this feature?
no idea, you should search issues on github.
Anyway comments are replicated across all instances, so nobody stops someone from running a modified instance that does not abide to the comment deletion request. Same for posts, idk about images.
you should consider everything that get published public forever.
