Why do i see so many comments that are missing? Sometimes they are in threads that are getting heated and I could understand someone deleting a really bad take but other times it's in a shitpost like the example.
my guess is whoever you were responding to deleted their account.
side note: those comments without context is funny af
There is no record of this comment
There is no war in Ba Sing Se

There is some record of this comment.
The evidence of its existence is disputed among comment historians. However, they are unanimous about one thing: if it existed, it was a stupid comment that should have been deleted immediately after it was written.
Some also claim this comment was edited, but the evidence for that is highly questionable, borderline fabricated.

This is what you see when you block someone
Ohh, I thought it was what you see when someone blocks you.
Problem is, can 100% confirm if you block em that is what ya see, not sure bout if they block you
Nothing happens on the blocked user's end. On mbin I even still get PMs from them.
I also See these missing comments a lot ( almost in Every third discussion), but i did not block anyone so far. Also no instances. Is it possible that these are comments from instances my instance defederated?
Prob others that have blocked you
They have 17 comments total, doesn't seem likely.
I'm blocking a lot of communities (all sports related) but I'm not blocking any users or instances.
Probably something with federation running behind.
Like, you're instance A, one of those accounts is on instance B, and the ones you can't see are from instance C.
So A has an issue with C, but B doesn't.
So A (you) can see comments from A and B. But B can see comments from A,B, and C.
A doesn't see the C's, but knows B has replied.
It's also possible your app is the issue if not using web client.
That makes sense. I don't usually use the web client.
For example i cannot See the comment you answered to. From which instance is it?
I don't know how to check but the comment is gone for me now.
Interesting. So it changed from visible to invisible.
Yep. This is weird. I can see your comment in my messages but if I go to the actual post it shows that there is a message but I can't expand it to see it.
It's from Lemmy.world
are you blocking someone, individually or instance?
either that or comments were purged, or account was deleted with content
I don't think I'm blocking anyone specifically. I might be blocking an instance. I'll have to look into that.
From unfederated instances or blocked users.
