Heck, I haven’t been able to get a comment deleted in ALL instances so far. Instances that don’t directly federate with my instance doesn’t seem to process deletion reliably.
Comment on What Happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml? What Happens if an Instance Disappears?

What Happens if an Instance Disappears?
I may be wrong, but one potential problem in such a case might be that (not you’d totally lose your data but on the contrary) you won’t be able to delete your posts etc. even if you want to delete them, since its copy is “mirrored” by many other instances. Not sure though.

Never put anything on the internet you don’t want out there forever, even if you were able to delete your comments from your instance and the federated instances there are most certainly people from /r/datahoarders making archives of posts and comments in the fediverse
