They both disappear outright. It depends on whether or not you have 'show deleted' setting enabled or where you're viewing. Recent posts on your user profile will always be shown even if deleted. And I agree the situation is shitty and our current solution is not sufficient (and will just get worse).
I've resorted to adding the blacklist "status:deleted" to mine to prevent them from showing. They're "deleted" in the sense that they're hidden from the listing, but they also increment the deleted counter. I've heard in some cases, some posts are hard deleted. Either they should 1) hard delete posts and NOT have them count against users, or 2) make it so that they don't show up in my recent uploads and again, NOT count against users. Neither appear tricky to implement, and it seems unfair to penalise people who accidentally upload them, especially if the AI-generated stuff is hard to differentiate from legitimate art to begin with.
