The screenshot shows comments somehow being nested multiple levels without an intermediate parent. That's a bug, right? Nesting should only be increasing by one level at a time.

I've observed this happening a ton across many different threads. There's also some weird cases where the top level comment is just a link to "show parent" and... It's not actually top level??

My understanding is it has to do with deleted comments not having a placeholder, so the comments you do see look like they're nested strangely
