Allow deleting one's own comments on another person's website

[dcalhoun]

We received a feature request from a user (8973860-zd-a8c) to allow deleting/trashing their own comment on someone else's website.

In a web browser one can "trash" their own comment by clicking Edit → Trash, but this ability is absent in the mobile app. Additionally, trashed comments can be only be permanently deleted by the website's administrators.

Thanks for reporting! 👍

I'm not sure this will ever be possible – once a comment goes on someone else's site, it belongs them, not to you.

It'd be difficult to prove you're the author of said comment to allow deletion.

This might be feasible for WP.com, but probably never for .org sites
