Thank you for checking. That is weird. Your screen shot is exactly what I would expect / like to see when a user is blocked and has their comments removed. Neither voyager nor the web interface for world shows that. What app are you using?

It is not a voyager issue. Viewing the Post on world in the web browser also only shows 3 out of 20 comments

Thanks for the explanations. So a single post can have different comments showing up on different instances. So when selecting an instance, not only do we need to consider what other instances they defederated from, we also need to consider their policies on banning users and removing comments. Great. And people wonder why the average person isn’t embracing the fediverse.

Re photo: posted using voyager on mobile, so maybe that is the issue.

Re delays: the original post isn’t on world, it’s on another instance. I did comment from world and that whole comment tree disappeared from world but not from the original instance. So it does not seem to be a delay in federation from the original instance to world.

And correct me if i am wrong, but banning a user just stops them from posting, but i thought it did not delete their post history without additional mod action - which i cant see in the modlog

Does it also trap search engine crawlers? That would be a problem

That is probably true for all instances
