Allow admins to purge their own post #2050

Requirements

Describe the feature you'd like

Currently, the button to purge a post is hidden if the post's creator is an admin.

It can be useful to purge posts created by admins (or at least your own posts). As often test posts get created while debugging issues with the instance.

I don't see the harm in allowing admins to clean up their own (deleted) posts to remove the clutter they created.

Have you found a workaround yet, because I ran into the same trap, that I wanted to test posts, but I can't remove my own post, which was really unexpected.

Update: This isn't only a thing with posts, but with whole threads.

Posts show: Message deleted by user (there is no other option to delete/purge it) Thread show: a red trash bin besides the title (but why do we still see the thread?)

It's really hard to work with Lemmy, because almost nothing is intuitive, which makes me really sad, because Lemmy is one of the best Fediverse tools out there.
