The idea

When I'm composing a response post and the parent post is deleted, throw an error when I try to post my response. Possibly 409 Conflict?

The reasoning

Currently, the reply silently becomes a normal post and goes onto my main timeline. It retains the user account mention, but has no context because it no longer points at any parent. So it looks like I created a new post just to mention someone. There is no indication to the user that this has occurred so you only realize if you go check your profile afterwards.

I have seen people be confused by this, with their own followers responding "context?".
