Is it normal practice to delete, change, create data with a get request, not a post?

Question

RESTful API

I have such a view where I delete a comment by clicking on a link in the form of a button, I delete it with a get request, is it okay to use a get request for this, instead of post?

class DeleteCommentView(View):

    def get(self, request, **kwargs):
        comment_id = kwargs.get('pk')
        user = request.user
        comment = Comment.objects.get(id=comment_id)
        comment.delete()
        return redirect('profiles:profile-detail', slug=user.profile.slug)

<a href="{% url 'posts:comment-delete' pk=comment.pk %}"><i class="bi bi-x-circle delete-com"></i></a>

Abnormal. HTTP clients, including the browser, rely on the idempotency of GET requests, and therefore can perform it without asking or repeat an arbitrary number of times. So don't be surprised if after visiting the page with comments, they are deleted, although you did not click anything.
