- nurettin 9y agoI'd much prefer HN's scarce supply of armchair commentary to reddit's endless supply of quickly triggered "meme" comments.
- Kluny 9y agoThe strict moderation is a feature for me.
- acct1771 9y agoI just wish I could choose to see what was removed, somehow. Do you feel that'd impede on your experience, that being possible? Genuine question.
- wglb 9y agoIn your profile, there is a choice called "showdead". If you set that to yes, you see those comments.
- acct1771 9y agoShadowbanned is not the same as downvoted/dead, unless I've missed something.
- dang 9y agoIt's the same. If you turn on 'showdead' you see all comments by banned users as well as comments killed by software, user flags, or (more rarely) moderators. There's such a thing as deleting a comment, in which case it's no longer visible even with showdead turned on. But only the author can do that. Software never does it, and we never do it unless the author asks us to.
- crummy 9y agowhich subreddits? I haven't found this to be the case, but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places.
