        I think it’s related to servers giving you an error message when posting a comment due to load, so you hit post again. Afterwards it turns out you have two comments because the first attempt actually worked

        I’ve had this happen. It will sometimes report that a post didn’t go through and leave you on the editor screen for you to hit post again. So people do 2-3 times not knowing it’s posting regardless of the error message.

        I think they’re duplicate submissions
