having an option to auto collapse/hide them, but still access them if needed would make things easier for many folk
This logic could also be useful if applied to comments from filtered users. As OP mentions:
blocking someone will hide their comments AND any replies to those comments
I can definitely imagine the following chain of events occurring:
- Reading through comments under a post
- Glossing over a collapsed comment from a filtered user
- Feeling lost reading the replies to that filtered comment
- Wanting to briefly un-filter that comment just to get the appropriate context
I had never heard of The Captains' Summit
