For the second case, the federated instances would also remove the content

That’s not how that works. It would still be cached on other instances. The only way it would be deleted is though a mass deletion but if it gets bad enough the admins could restore the content and then block the delete request.

That’s what I was saying. If admins manually deleted comments/posts from their instance, it would replicate to others

The admins of the other instances could restore comments and posts from backup if it was deemed necessary.
Also things posted on the internet tend to live on
