This comment was the first one I ever saw that said "Deleted by creator" so I was wondering what would happen if you copy the text of it. Apparently, this shows the text of the deleted comment. Is this a bug?

It was probably cached beforehand.

I remember on the old forum with the alien I could hit refresh constantly to see what deleted comments had said if it was cached on time.

    I think the app is caching things without you having to look at them so they can instantly load. Not 100% though. It’s what I noticed happening years ago.

    The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.
