Comments not visable, extension says "1 comments" but wont display it. #28

Closed ethicalfive closed 5 years ago

ethicalfive commented 5 years ago

I've been searching the @GabDissenter tag on gab to read dissenter comment threads and I've discovered that many of of the links I follow lead to the extension telling me there is "1 comments" but it doesn't display those comments.

I know they exist because I can see the comment that was written by the shared post about it to Gab. Maybe it's a problem with the "share to gab" check box or something else? Here is an example:


Romhacking.net - Home

Fun to see what weird hacks people are still doing to classic videogames these days. Plus there's often games being translated into English for the first time.

But i've seen many more like this.

Update - The author of this particular comment said that they hid the comment and thats why I couldn't see it, however I've seen this with so many comments, this cannot be the case for all of them. If I run into more examples, I'll post them up.

I am now receiving the message "There are no comments at this time." on every site I visit even though it says there are X comments at the top of the Dissenter window.

For example, at CNN right now it says "182 comments" at the top, then lower down, just below the cnn.com URL it says "There are no comments at this time." and nothing is showing.

Yesterday I was seeing all comments.

I have just downloaded Crome and only installed Dissenter and had the same problem. I have the same in Opera too.

Here is another example, says it has 3 comments, there is a "There are no comments at this time." https://cosmicbook.news/captain-marvel-mcu-doubt-avengers-unhappy

#CaptainMarvel generally and #BrieLarson specifically were both horrific choices to try to bring the #Marvel #MCU into it's second phase after retiring #Ironman #Hulk #Thor #CaptainAmerica, etc. #Disney has a complete shitshow on their hands and they know it after their #StarWars debacle.

I guess this isn't really the extensions fault but the dissenter.com platform itself as I tried viewing them through the website and its the same story, saying there are comments but unable to see them.

Thank you for flagging this issue. Will look into appropriate design patterns for the website to make this less confusing for everyone.

Thank you! I actually figured out the mechanism for the bug. The comments aren't qualifying as a Top comments and so the Top/controversial/latest comments sorting button are being hidden and the comment section is treated as if no one has commented. I was able to make the comments visable by making my own comment, reloading the dissenter comments for that URL, now suddenly the Sorting buttons become visible and I am able to click on latest and see the other comments.

I am not able to see any comment on any site

(oops, spoke too soon, still seeing it) It appears this particular issue has been resolved! The comment threads effected are still effected but new ones are working correctly from what I can see!

I am on Firefox and have noticed this as well, but it appears to be around certain words used. According to the FAQ, it says that the Chrome extension is censored, but I am not sure about Firefox.
