Be sure to screen shot any comment you make that you want to preserve, or comments by others that should be preserved. LessWrong is now the sort of site where critical comments silently vanish that cannot by any sane stretch be called trolling.
If your concern is public relations, systematically deleting critique is amongst the stupidest things I can think of you doing. This is the Internet, where that sort of behaviour ensures preservation. A bot to automatically preserve all comments to LW would be ridiculously simple, for example, if MIRI could no longer be trusted to be honest.
Really, MIRI. Just what the hell do you think you're achieving with this?

Mind blown.
That presumably makes close to 20 of us, based on the 19 upvotes at time of this comment.
Well, you are literally paid to put up with this ...
I worked on and off for SI as a contractor; currently, I'm not. (Not that that should justify deleting comments.)
