      It’s been a common thing on this platform for a long time that there will be like 10 comments and someone will say that all the comments are horrible based on one of them being not great.

        It can take a long time, sometimes several hours, for comments to synchronize across instances because of the way federation works. Not everyone has the same view of comments based on where they are coming from and where a comment originated.

          That might be the explanation sometimes but more commonly people read one thing they don’t like and get mad that it’s not shouted down.

        You shouldn’t talk in absolutes like that about top level comments when you know you’ve taken steps that specifically hide content from your view. You can’t talk authoritatively in that situation.

          For a long time

          Years ago this was a thing when my blocklist was like 5 long. Either you haven’t been here long or haven’t paid attention to this phenomenon like I have. Is it really an absolute if I provide a clear caveat that I might just not be seeing this?
