I’ve seen at least 2 post today where a front page post has many normal looking comments, but their username was [deleted] Doesn’t seem normal, any theories on whats going on?

Is my browser bugged?

        I’ve found that on every Reddit post I saw this evening ( I was looking for some advice ). Nested comments loaded with “load more” seem fine, and hovering over “deleted” seems to bring up the user if they weren’t actually deleted so I assume it’s just some weird glitch or maybe related to something Reddit is trying to implement?

        Entire comment sections are just bots, for the most part, if reddit is actually identifying bots and non humans then it would be normal to see wasteland threads.

        The Internet is in a sad state.

          Weird thing is like I browsed 5 threads and its all just [deleted], seemed like a site-wide system crash lol

          I think reddit might actually powered by a hamster running on a wheel, and the hamster is just dead from exhaustion.
