Someone who "gets" this platform better than I do, please explain what it means when I see a notification in that column but when I go to click on it and look it just disappears? #Fediverse #feditips

@johnhenryus that generally means that for whatever reason your access to the post had been revoked.

Maybe the post was deleted, maybe you were blocked, etc.

Basically, you see the notification, and when you click on it the platform goes to double check that you were supposed to see it, finds out that you weren't, and it disappears the post.

In other words, for whatever reason, your previous permission to see the content has been revoked.

@volkris - thanks. Unfortunately that's not reassuring; I have a decades long and deeply deranged stalker problem, and that activity suggests they've followed me here.
