Is Mil deleting my comments?

Not close to mil, but try to be civil and friendly. She posts on every Sm post I ever do, would rather not have my Dh’s family on there tbh. She’s commented on a post today about Dd, as have some of my friends. I replied to friends, so thought I should send a replied comment on mils comment (I know what the family are like and it would probably be seen in a negative way if I didn’t-ridiculous, I know!)
Anyway, when I was looking through friends comments, I saw my reply to mil wasn’t there, so I thought I mustn’t have passed send and sent the same reply again. Happened to see before that it’s not there again 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈Can people delete a comment you’ve replied to their comment on your post?

@dishyrishi Same! Feels like you’re constantly being watched

The only person who can delete anything you do, is you, unless you post / comment something on another persons page.

She can delete any comments on her posts yes. Even if you've replied to someone else's comment on her post, she can still delete it

It's not MIL post though, it's OPs.

Likely to be some sort of facebook bug, lots of groups reporting strange goings on with comments and posts etc.

Plenty of ways to get round that by changing your settings or better still delete FB all together if having to manage relationships online is giving you stress

I dunno about you but this constant need to like and comment does my head in!

My MIL has basically joined every group I have, even ones where she can't possibly have an interest (think medical condition), and when I commen on stuff in those groups she likes the comments too Confused

This has gave me a real giggle this evening!
My Dm barely knows how to use Facebook and this is a silly thing she would do thinking she is being supportive but then you're like what the f&@£?!

just change your settings to everyone can see except... and then you tag the names u dont want to see your stuff

still friends but they dont know what youre posting

She's probably deleted it by accident. If it keeps happening then I'd say something.

This is one of the many reasons why social media is awful stuff. You are constructing some elaborate theory about what your MIL thinks of you or how she wants you to look to your friends based on something some random setting that probably not even turned on deliberately...
