Guess you don’t have an “ebony hole”, then.

EDIT: sorry for inadvertently spamming responses. I thought they weren’t going through for some reason, but it turns out my Lemmy client (Thunder) doesn’t make it obvious when a thread is collapsed (which is also too easy to accidentally do without noticing), so they were just hidden from my view. The only indication was a small “+n” number in the upper right corner, which I obviously missed.
