My guess is that it’s a bug caused by the new troll feeding penalty where you automatically lose 5 karma if you reply to a comment at −3 or below. But I don’t really have any evidence to corroborate that.
And I don’t think downvoted comments have ever been hidden if on a users page. I’m not sure though, I set my preferences to see all comments as soon as I created my LW account. I have negative associations with things being hidden from me and I’m too curious not to open it up and look anyway.
Yes, and here’s another. On the page of all that user’s posts, it does appear, at −4. But the permalink to the post shows it as hidden.
Is this a bug or a new feature?
