    Where did all the replies to this post go? There was an entire discussion that is now gone, and nothing in the modlog.

      After some testing, It might be that the parent commenter just deleted their comment which nuked all the child comments. I can’t rememeber if this is what Reddit does. I think it just sais “Deleted by creator”, but keeps the children. Could certainly be wrong, though.

          Yup it appears that our entire comment chain got nuked. So it is now confirmed that if you delete the parent, then all children get removed as well.

          For any reading this message, the context is that we tested it by me replying to OP’s previous comment, then OP responding to me, then I deleted my comment to see if their comment also got deleted.

            From my testing it only removes them, but you should be able to go into them again by clicking on the reply in your inbox.
