  • A couple things I know of related to her talk show: 1) She kind of ‘showed her true colors’ by being snarky and mean-spirited (“haha, it’s all just fun”) towards many a guest, even making some cry or weirdly putting them on the spot when talking about a traumatic thing in their lives; 2) She was seemingly revealed to be a toxic a-hole behind the scenes to her staff and others. This is evidently not unique at all among talk show hosts, but paired with #1, it kind of sunk her reputation, it seemed to me.











  • The community was (very likely) blocked that produced a bunch of the tallied comments here, that’s all. Blocked in my personal settings.

    So now the comment counter sits at 37, and I can see many more of them that were later produced in this version of the thread, but still not from Fediverse memes@feddit.uk. I think what caused that is that the post probably originated there, then was cross-posted here. But PieFed (and maybe Lemmy) evidently has a feature which pulls in comments from places where a single thread was cross-posted, leading to the root of this issue.

    Make sense?


  • Confirmed. What really set me off is that the comment counter I see currently sits at 25, but checking now, those are ‘imported’ comments seemingly coming from “Fediverse memes@feddit.uk.”

    Going through my blocked /c list, that particular one doesn’t seem to be blocked, but I do have a lot of meme communities indeed blocked. I think then, that’s likely what happened. I got tripped up by thinking in the ‘block post’ mindset, unintendingly blocking comments I otherwise wanted to see.

    Okay, I think mystery solved. Thanks for your feedback on that!


  • Well, this is odd. This is the first-ever post (here or anywhere else on the FV) in which I can see the post and thread, but the comments are invisible to me. Meanwhile, they are indeed visible if I view without a cookie (private window).

    I don’t know of any blocks or settings I’ve made that would cause this… 😕
    EDIT: I’m most likely wrong in that. A block I’d set up for a different purpose is probably causing this.
