I block all Cloudflare instances I know of (lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, lemm.ee, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, etc). But sometimes I inadvertently end up on one of the those instances when searching in a logged out state. When I login, the block rules apply (as expected). But it makes no sense to block all comments in a thread without blocking the thread’s OP.

IOW, if the OP is displayed because it is visited specifically, then the full thread with all comments should also be visible.
