Hexbear v0.18 Upgrade Complete!
We will be down for ~30 mins. If you can't get in after an hour, check our Mastodon or twitter for updates, or try force refresh, clearing cache, etc.
EDIT: doing another quick hotpatch. You may see some interruptions
You're viewing a single thread.
It looks like removed comments are causing some problems.
When a comment gets removed, it apparently no longer has a place-holder comment "removed by mod" like it used to. So now threads will have the "1 more reply->" sign, but if you click on it, you just get the infinitely spinning bear head.
Another thing, if you are reading a thread (one that you arrived at by going directly to a comment instead of the post first) and click "Show context->" and the context was actually a removed comment, it just reloads the part of the thread you were already on and you can't get any further context, even comments that were further above the removed one. This makes it not only harder to tell that there were comments that mods removed, which maybe is the point, but it also makes it so a lot of good, not-removed comments can't be read either.
I just checked and it's not just comments removed by mods, but also the "deleted by creator" comments. Unless I'm missing something, that means whole threads can be essentially disappeared if someone early on in the reply chain decides they don't want it to be visible anymore. Not just the stuff they wrote themselves, but the rest of the chain. That's.... not good.
