I always assumed hide meant only hiding it from you which isn’t the point

</blockquote>Hide hides it from everybody except for the person who posted it <br />
<br />
I’m not sure how true it is but you want to consider the impact on the algorithm when you delete comments <br />
<br />
That’s why I think hiding them is better <br />
<br />
It’s facebooks party, they don’t want people there who are getting a lot of bad comments, deleting them, getting reported etc <br />
<br />
However they do love engagement which is why I’ll reply to anything that isn’t outright negative <br />
<br />
No idea if any of this is proven or has an impact, Facebook is a black box, but it’s a fairly safe assumption</div>
