Moderators also have a subreddit setting that will collapse all comments below user deleted or mod removed comments - and just a note that the 'the new ‘potentially toxic comment’ that was a bug related to an experiment for chat post moderation tools.

The chat team is working closely with some communities to test a range of mod tools for live chat threads specifically, it's not intended for regular threads at all.

Ok. I find these collapses/removals/deletions a bit confusing.

So if I’m correct, there are 5 categories of states for comments, with lower taking precedence over higher:

Then in addition, there is a subreddit-wide option to additionally collapse visible comments under an invisible parent comment.

Also, is the chat team for the live chat on posts the same as the Reddit Chat (/chat[1]) team?
