I know we're not supposed to discuss downvotes, but there's a sibling comment that makes the point I wanted to make, but it's dead. It seems fine, and the user's history is filled with dead comments that mostly also seem fine.

Regardless, if anyone has a response to a bunch of websites being a worse security model than one giant platform, you can reply to me instead.

if you click into that comment (through the timestamp) you can vouch for it, which if vouched by enough people will show the comment.

The account is likely shadow-banned or similar, so their comments are dead by default.

Also, if you look through their comment history, you can often find the comment(s) that got them shadow-banned. And if their ~recent comment history is good, with many vouched comments, you can ask dang to un-ban them.
