is this a new feature? posts without a reply button

I have been seeing this, on the same posts, some responses have the relpy
some do not.

I have NOT seen this as an option for me when I post
is it a VIP thing?
or is SW just buggy as often

It means someone who has blocked you, or youve blocked, has replied to the post .

You cant see their reply, but you can see other users responses to them .

And i think, because their reply is linked to the blocked user, you are blocked from replying to their interaction.

And yes ...this seems new.
Before , one could at least reply to the seen responder.

@OogieBoogie this seems likely. I will examine further..
