I’m definitely not. I copied and pasted that link into a freshly cleared out Duck Duck Go browser window on my phone and saw the comment. I can’t reproduce not seeing it in any browser I’ve tried, except where I had an ad blocker installed that hides website comments.

Oh the irony. You've dug up a truly horrible comment that Slashdot's own moderation system hid and then shared it to a far larger audience than even unflagged content on Slashdot threads get by posting its direct link to a higher traffic site.

And apparently you've done this out of a belief that such comments shouldn't be discoverable, even by those observing a record of moderation decisions.

Are you similarly upset by HN's "showdead" option? Will you be sharing some truly objectionable comments from here on a large social media account?

You're linking to the comment's own page. Of course it's visible there. It's the entire content. Navigating to that URL is an explicit request to see that comment and nothing else.

But it's not visible in the comment thread where it was made. How would you see it if you weren't specifically trying to?
