I was thinking about this recently… By going to a federated system, one that essentially copies all of your content from one instance to another, when you delete a comment, does that comment get deleted on every instance? Is that even possible?

Not just posts. Any message you are sending to anyone is unencrypted and can easily be looked at by instance owners.
Unextended ActivityPub makes it so that everything is shared without privacy, any operation is “best-effort” and also depends on the goodwill of the target (ie: a server could refuse all delete on purpose or refuse to deliver messages/posts without any hints)
