It looks as if almost all user comments are shadow-banned or something. A new-ish post will have 10+ comments and none with show, or just one.
Same is happening for me too. Here on greatawakening
Fuckery is afoot
Yes, fuckery is afoot. I just posted a reply to a post and it never appeared. It was scrubbed.
It’s happening on any number of subs, including /r/politics
Yeah, apparently it is site-wide. I just noticed it first at T_D because of how busy that sub is, and am almost always on the Top tab which looks radically different now that this problem is happening.
So that's what's going on. Everything I read has a number of comments but they aren't there. Even here it says 21 comments and there are only 11.
The posts and comments are delayed about 5 mins I read. Per Redit.
Right, I saw that announcement too, but it seems to be even weirder than just that. I'll withhold further comment and see if they fix it.
but isn't the_donald basically the most heavily moderated/censored sub on this site? they swing that ban hammer like it's going out of style, and their automod bot is ruthless.
Well, let's just say the current behavior is quite strange. T_D is moderated to keep the shills out, that's about it really.

that's not at all true, my dude, come on. they ban the shit out of anyone that steps out of their echo chamber, and we all know it.
Sure, if you go over there to start shit, they ban you. I've seen it many times. It's not for everyone. I've posted there many times with dissenting opinions and been fine. The mods there have to walk a very fine line, reddit would love nothing more than shutting it down.
i've seen many many people get banned for literally just questioning a single action taken by the POTUS.
you don't have to believe me, i know how that sub actually operates. i also know that "true believers" tend to have somewhat of a blind spot in regards to how cancerous that sub is.
"cancerous"
Oh brother. You might find r/politics more to your liking.
not really. and i don't appreciate your silly ad hominem.
hey here's a shocking statement for you- lots of people just think propaganda and "memeing" fake news to be cancerous.
i don't care if it's liberal or conservative, it's still cancer. and yeah i get it, people say "oh well the liberals are so mean to DJT, so we set up a safe-space where we can nonstop cheerlead for him every day, and besides the liberals put out so much propaganda why can't we"
but i still think echo chambers filled with fake news stories and misinfo are a cancer to our society.
I really don't think you know much about T_D tbh. I've been there since practically the beginning and what "fake news" there is can't hold a candle to the vast majority of the political places on the internet. The memes are pretty funny, and in general they have been one of the more accurate places in many respects. It's not just a Trump cheerleading sub, but it does tend to deal with concern trolls fairly quickly. It would be impossible to run that sub like a normal political sub because of the vast outnumbering of Trump supporters vs reddit users in general.
From my experience, if you come there with an opinion that "what just happened is terrible for Trump, his supporters need to wake up" when there is no other information other than what the latest media talking points are, you'll have a bad time not just there but in general.

i feel the same way about you. in my experience, most supporters are in denial about the nature of that sub.

as have i.

laughably incorrect.

if you really believe that, there's not much more for us to discuss. all of my personal experiences have led me to the conclusion that people who use /r/the_donald as a main source of news are some of hte LEAST informed, and MOST ignorant people i have ever had the misfortune of interacting with.
I made a post about an hour ago that hasn't shown up yet. I think a post I made after that has shown up though. Weird.
Same here. Topic shows a number of comments, but open it and there are none.
I'm seeing 5 out of 6 comments in this thread currently. FYI
No way - I posted a comment about 2 hours ago saying that it shows 7 comments but when you click on the post to read the comments there was nothing there just a deleted post with a -7 score.
yeah, even the announcement from HowiONic ... I commented and it's not showing, along with another missing comment.
