The screenshot shows comments somehow being nested multiple levels without an intermediate parent. That’s a bug, right? Nesting should only be increasing by one level at a time.
I’ve observed this happening a ton across many different threads. There’s also some weird cases where the top level comment is just a link to “show parent” and… It’s not actually top level??
My understanding is it has to do with deleted comments not having a placeholder, so the comments you do see look like they’re nested strangely

I think you are right. This reproduced the issue for me.
I used to see “comment deleted by user” or something like that, has that gone away?
Also the issue I’ve noticed pretty often recently is that there are apparently replies to a comment, but I click to view them and it disappears. That happened with your comment, did you have any replies before mine?
It said two but expanding them said no comments loaded
I assume some of the bugs will be fixed in the coming months
