Is it possible to delete your own replies?

Qgil: Not currently, but that is being planned. Suggestions welcome, as always. :)

Quiddity (WMF): I see. My first reaction was "I can delete anything in Talk pages now, so why not with Flow". Then again it is true than in reality no regular user is going to do that lightly. So yes, limiting the action to a short period of time sounds sensible. As long as nobody has replied, because in that case, I'm sorry, things get more complicated (will your deletion cause the deletion of the replies?).

I saw that you can't save changes when you edit a post leaving it empty, which makes sense. Only then I started missing a way to delete my test post as a regular user. Users can still edit an own post and convert it in a simple dot, and/or hide it. I would say this is enough as soon as you get used to the idea that this is still a ffree wiki (where all contributions become part of the common pool as soon as they are published) and not Facebook, Twitter, etc.

So yes, so far so good. Thank you!
