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.

    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.
