There’s a specific comment I’m trying to reply to in the lemmy.world/c/games community, agreeing with how much I love a game they mentioned. But after drafting the message, on mobile it just acts like I haven’t pressed the button. On desktop, there’s and endless loading circle.

I tried posting the comment before bed, and again this morning, same issue.

I was able to make a top-level comment in another post.

I did post something controversial so maybe they blocked me (although it doesn’t look like they commented on my controversial post). But I don’t even know if that limits replies.

The only other thing I can think of is they’re a kbin.social user.

Does any of this explain why I can’t reply? If they did block me, would I expect to see some sort of error message? Or should I expect the endless loading circle?
