Option to hide deleted posts and comments on personal profile tab (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Sometimes I post a comment that replies to a different post than I had intended—subsequently deleting it and pasting the message into a new comment—or start a thread in which I ask a question that I then answer myself, so then delete the thread.

In both cases, it'd be helpful to have a toggle the visibility of deleted posts and comments.

As viewing comments of other users that were deleted, but still have replies, is sometimes informative, my suggestion just refers to one's own deleted posts and comments on their profile page tab.

This is definitely something I can look into. I do something similar in comments threads, as the API will still return the contents of deleted and removed comments, so Arctic will check if it’s deleted, and prevent displaying the content.

I can do the same for profiles by either filtering out the entry entirely, or replacing its content with Deleted by user. For this, I will likely just add a toggle to the filtering menu in the profile tab. I don’t delete much content, so I had never really noticed this as an issue.
