This is the thread:

https://libretechni.ca/post/2232241

The comment count is 3, but when I enter the thread I only find 2.

From a logged out browser, I can see 3 comments, thus the comment from @rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr. Really bizarre because I have not configured my profile to block anything yet.

UPDATE: as someone pointed out, a profile setting for language was the culprit.

I wouldn’t exactly flip to “not a bug”, however, because the client should inform the user. The suppressed post should just be folded with a “(comment suppressed due to language preference)”.

And as a 2nd bug, the language parameter in the settings should make it clear what the setting does.

    Your disappearing comment (rako) is listed as french language. In your settings under "discussion language"do you have it set to english? Try setting it to “undetermined”

      Oooooohhhhh! Bingo.

      I think when I fiddled with that I thought it would tag comments I make as English.

      Like I said, I block nothing. I go to settings » blocks and there is nothing.

      Normally, in other accounts, I block Cloudflare instances. But my libretechni.ca account currently blocks nothing.

      Yes, but I cannot see rako’s comment when logged in. Which also means I cannot interact with it.
