Not sure what combination of state and events caused this to happen, but I got a chuckle out of it.

-1 New means that one of the comments got deleted since you last checked the post

  If the post had 93 comments last time and has 92 now… is that noteworthy?
  
  And if there was one new comment and one deleted comment leaving the resulting sum total of comments remain unchanged… should I be informed that there’s a new comment (rather than 0 new comments and so no change)?

comment_count - old_count after a moderator deleted some comments would be my bet.

  more importantly that means if a comment is deleted and there’s also 1 new comment, then it’ll tell you there’s 0 new comments

    Yeah, it’s probably cheaper than than counting the number of comments since a timestamp though. Pure conjecture though on my part though, haven’t really done much stuff with SQL.
