How to do ghost edits on comments? (lemmy.zip)

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

When I first experienced this, I thought it was a technical hiccup or something.

When I got DARVO’d for it. I learned it was deliberate.

Now that I am witnessing someone do it to me as a nonmoderator & admin, I guess it's a client side exploit.

Any ideas?

On my client (Thunder) the comments you talk about show with an edit symbol, so maybe it's a UI bug, or instance specific bug

I assume it's a lemmy exploit, since the live one doesn't show it. And the Nazi one still doesn't.

Dude that second one wasn't edited, that was the whole joke.

Just checked on Thunder4🐁: no edit marks on both comments.

Found too Nazi left plenty of non marks too
