I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

Question: If someone that blocks you makes a comment on someone else's post, why does it show the "This message is deleted" message? I mean, why bother showing anything at all? Any responses to it don't have any context, and thus are worthless to read, and you can't respond to it. Plus, it informs you that someone has blocked you. Now I just want to know what the comment was, because it's clearly interesting to people, and I feel out of the loop of the conversation.

So I guess my suggestion is to just not display any comment thread started by someone that blocked you. There's really no reason for it.

It's not a bug, it's a design decision. You have been blocked by person "A", but you're still able to see all replies by others, and these might have some value on their own to you.

The string "This message is deleted" is unfortunate, because it isn't, a better solution would be "You cannot see this message because its author has blocked you."

@helenS Great solution. I get sick of seeing the older version. 😏

@chrisCA those who have blocked me did so without any explanation. One that did said I had bad manors!

Exactly, I've been trying to point out this before. It only encourages people to make spying accounts.

@CrazyMusicLover I agree!👍️

It only shows it if there's replies. Otherwise if there's no replies or it's a reply there's nothing there. It's easy to see the difference as the real deleted comments say by whom.

I've been trying to get them though to use the same where deleted comments don't who at all instead of saying they were deleted but nothing as yet.
