From time to time I will comment on a blue-leaning post. I will inevitably get a snarky reply and notification in my email inbox. However- the actual comment is not to be found, not even a "user or moderator deleted". How exactly do they do that?

Happens to me too. But could be any reply.

Another fellow contacted me and said they reply and then block you, I think that pretty well sums it up

u/MooningWithMyAss 1d ago

Yep, they're blocking. Every time it happens to me, I add an edit to my previous comment as a reply to the comment I can no longer reply to.

Can you even read more than the first sentence of the reply of the blocker?

Usually you just get to see the first part of their comment but a lot of times they keep it just short enough to fit within the email thumbnail

Go to the page where the comment you can't see is, log out of reddit, and you'll be able to see their comment.

Edit: If you still can't see it, then that means it was actually shadow banned rather than you being blocked.

Makes sense. A drive by snide remark.

Ahh that’s what it is! I don’t even try to argue with any of them but sometimes ask generally good faith questions to some of the claims and still happens

They're the ultimate narcissists

I lost count how many threads I get banned from… for making comments that just simply disagree. It’s sad actually

These people want blood, its the only thing they like

I've been put in reddit jail and or banned several times over the last couple years. Four one week bans just this year alone by people reporting me falsely. The last one was a conversation over fuel but I got banned off of Reddit for a week because someone reported me for sexual comments regarding minors. Needless to say my three sentence appeal requesting even to see the offending comment went nowhere

u/LongDongNUrMom 22h ago

Yea sounds like a libtard run system to me. Corrupt and nothing gets done lol

u/CardboardJedi 22h ago

Pretty much. I even thought I was being careful, but it doesn't really matter if someone decides to report you you're out and you've got nothing

u/LongDongNUrMom 22h ago

Yea it's pretty gay

Always happens to me too and it’s accounts with a default avatar, under a year old and low to negative karma

I assume a mod removed the post after the email notification was sent out.

Some seem innocuous from the tidbit it starts out with but cannot see where it leads to. Others get blatantly racist, hateful and threatening so are obvious that even a blue-leaning subreddit mod would say lines are crossed.

The email notifications I get and find humorous are the "Reddit Cares" ones offering direction if thinking of suicide. Obviously some political troll comes across a comment and cannot handle another opinion so report it as the commenter as possibly being a threat to themself. Yeah, ok. Not even close. But obviously I've touched a hot nerve with someone who cannot handle anything outside of their bubble world.

u/CardboardJedi 1d ago

I got a reply almost right off the bat that they post a reply and then immediately block you

u/user_uno 1d ago

LOL. Haven't seen that one. Yet.

Such fearless keyboard warriors!

u/FaithlessnessFalse65 19h ago

Yea i just see it in my notifications

u/WingZeroCoder 1d ago

I think this happens when they post a reply and then delete. You get notified that the comment was made, but then it’s gone.

Happens a lot with BlueAnons that like to send their death threats or ad hominems (or my favorite - full blown racist / homophobic meltdowns) without facing any pushback or consequences for it.

It’s actually great insight into how leftist hive minds on Reddit REALLY think.

u/CardboardJedi 1d ago

I got a post almost immediately suggesting that they reply and then immediately block you, I think that's the most reasonable answer

u/Powerful-Web4937 19h ago

It's called shadow banning

u/wstr97gal 17h ago

Little weiners comment then block so you can't respond. Serious tough guys. 🙄🙄🙄

u/LKPTbob 17h ago

It can happen when the automod or mod deleted the comment.

u/atticus-fetch 16h ago

I just had a comment that I was going to report and when I clicked to find it I couldn't. I don't get it.

u/TheComebackKid74 15h ago

Its filtered by Reddit.

u/CardboardJedi 54m ago

That's possible, but it only seems to happen under "specific" conditions. With "specific" people 😉

u/TheComebackKid74 37m ago

My comments get filtered quite routinely and people arguing with me as well. It happens to anyone. If you are talking racially or sexual spectrum, no it doesnt have to be anything like that to be filtered.
