I have all settings related to comment hiding disabled[1] (do not collapse comments / do not truncate comments in large threads / do not truncate comments on home page)[2]. However, today I noted that comments appear to be hidden some of the time regardless[3].
This appears to be a recent regression[4][5]. I do note that there have been some other QoL changes recently ( code, improved LaTeX behavior, etc).
[Question] Hidden comments settings not working?
(Meta/site question.)
I have all settings related to comment hiding disabled[1] (do not collapse comments / do not truncate comments in large threads / do not truncate comments on home page)[2]. However, today I noted that comments appear to be hidden some of the time regardless[3].
This appears to be a recent regression[4][5]. I do note that there have been some other QoL changes recently (
code, improved LaTeX behavior, etc).Is there a way to turn this behaviour off?
That is, set. Yay negative options.
In general, I do not believe information hiding is a good idea[6]. I am willing to publicly discuss this elsewhere; please not on this question.
As an example, when opening this link: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/F5EmBWyryhgNtqsKb/convoy-crackdown?commentId=E9KdstpkKMX59bhMh I get “Showing 3 of 5 replies (Click to show all)”.
It is possible that I simply did not encounter said hiding before. That being said, said link is from 2m ago.
It is possible that I simply did not notice it before; I would be surprised if so.
I acknowledge there are potentially cases where all known alternatives are even worse.
