Yes, use the "showdead" toggle on your profile page.

I have showdead enabled, there are no dead comments on this thread and the current comment count matches the number of visible comments. I suspect the GP comment's observation was due to a timing issue

Or someone may have vouched for the comment in the meantime

Hmn I dunno what it was to be honest. I checked multiple times and refreshed, at least I thought I did. Shrug. My app that I'm using has no settings to showdead so I wouldn't be surprised if the refresh didn't work as it doesn't from time to time.

I really need a new app. Any recommendations?

Have you tried a web browser? Safari is nice.

Why does it need an app?

Mainly because I have and use 5 browsers and can never remember which one I logged into. There is not a chance that I'll remember my password. I wish. There's just way too many. Also don't use a pw manager on my phone due to security reasons.

Modern phones, when configured correctly, are more secure than their desktop counterparts.

I don't like password managers in general mostly because the ones that do all the syncing up magic you want are closed source.

Recently I found out about Bitwarden and have been using it for a couple weeks. No regrets, it's great.

It uses E2EE to sync passwords between devices and the clients are all open source. It's also undergone multiple third party security audits.

Makes everything a billion times more convenient and I feel safe trusting it.
