so.. hold on. locked accounts can comment on posts, and you can't see the comment unless you follow that locked account?? so you can just have phantom comments on posts? you could also, theoretically, have a load of hate comments you can't see. like there could be an entire breakdown of why someone thinks you're a monumental bellend and its hidden from you?
On the left is an unsuspecting user witnessing a phantom comment on their post.
On the right is the truth revealed: someone has blocked OP, and is still able to leave hate comments. This hate comment is invisible to OP, but visible to everyone else as the comment is left by a public account.
EDIT: i said this in a later repost but if you didnt see it this has already recently been reported on the support forum
to be clear this is obviously just a design oversight. but ohh i sure do hope it gets fixed
It seems like they're simply trying to "glow it right" or "make it go right" by ignoring it and hoping it goes away on its own.
It doesn't work like that, I'm sorry to say.
