    What three periods? I came from reddit so I just now put that before saying no sarcasm.

      I believe they meant a comment solely containing the word

      This.

      As a response to a comment or post. The three dots (ellipsis) are just to separate.

      And to add to the answer, the whole set of garbage regurgitated joke comments. I am glad to not see that here

      I don’t understand it either, I think your post is fine.

      It may be useful to know: I see that you received 4 other replies here, but I can’t load them. Afaik this is caused by instance blocks. Every instance has some other blocked, some less, some more, often with a reason. If you really want to read such comments you could try to look up your post on an other instance that does not block those, but you can also see (somewhere) the list of what instances have yours blocked, and you can have personal instance blocks too.
      Mostly the reason for blocks is spam from that other instance, bad intentioned users possibly even ban evading when the instance does not have appropriate registration rules, and some instances have an agenda they want to shout loudly, which is often not at all friendly, and sometimes because of unwanted (porn), illegal (child porn), or relatively-dangerous-to-host (piracy) content.
      The gist is that these instance blocks is often not arbitrary, but that ofc depends on your admins.
