Typically means they deleted their account or are banned right?
Yea, that typically doesn't happen to entire comment sections.
Seems like reddit being reddit again, website glitches and all.
That's why Lemmy is still my favorite platform.

It does when the topic of discussion has hella users breaking the rules or saying shit a mod doesn't like.
I've found that on every Reddit post I saw this evening ( I was looking for some advice ). Nested comments loaded with "load more" seem fine, and hovering over "deleted" seems to bring up the user if they weren't actually deleted so I assume it's just some weird glitch or maybe related to something Reddit is trying to implement?
Yeah idk. I totally noticed this a lot the past two years. I thought mods were just being jerks as usual
Entire comment sections are just bots, for the most part, if reddit is actually identifying bots and non humans then it would be normal to see wasteland threads.
The Internet is in a sad state.
Weird thing is like I browsed 5 threads and its all just [deleted], seemed like a site-wide system crash lol
I think reddit might actually powered by a hamster running on a wheel, and the hamster is just dead from exhaustion.
That's not really how that works...
Deleted comments show is deleted because they were deleted
User names say: [Deleted]
But contents of the comments were still there...
anyways, it was just a glitch at the time, the problem no longer exists, reddit has always been buggy
Bots will sometimes recycle old comments, so even if they're normal sounding they might not be authentic. And with LLMs now you might not be able to tell the difference. Could be Reddit being bullshit or could be them correctly identifying inauthentic behavior with some behind the scenes searching and metrics.
I noticed this too, happens if you are not using old.reddit.com and are not logged in.
similar things happening for me as well, Android, Firefox beta.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
