I tried setting showdead=yes but two comments I remember seeing earlier today (as replies to one of my comments) are still gone. Does anyone what else might have happened to them?

Maybe the posters might have deleted the comments themselves?

I often post comments on HN, just to delete them 5 minutes later when I realize I don’t care to deal with the replies I’ll eventually get.

You have to be quick because if someone does reply, you can no longer delete your message.

One benefit of this forum is that they purposely passed over notifications precisely to save us from the temptation to "deal with" replies.

I didn't realise messages even had a delete button. I'm going to reply here so I can check.

edit: you're right, there's a delete button.
