[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Suggestion: People should be able to delete comments from their own diary entry, and turn off commenting (#1989)

That's one solution for problematic comments, but a centralized moderation system then begs do the moderators know how to spot sexism, racism, homophobic dog whistles etc etc? My suggestion alleviates the burden (and responsibility) from those moderators, and spreads power around to individual users.

If comments could be deleted, but there was a message on the page saying "X comments have been removed", would that be acceptable? *(I'm not sure I like this idea)* Then it's clear that what's shown isn't the whole story?

Are diary entries used for proposals? IME that's mostly mailing list posts, or wiki pages. If comments can be deleted, then people won't trust a diary entry even more.
