Algolia has removed the comment scores from search so I don't know if that comment got any upvotes, but it's not grey.

We don't remove the comment scores actually :) For the first 10 days of a comment's life, HN's API always returns 0: so we index 0. After 10 days, comment scores are visible and should be updated in the index.

The API stopped returning scores ~ 10 months ago:

ETA: Perhaps incident to this incident:

Actually, it probably happened when Algolia transitioned from a custom feed (or whatever was going on) to the official api.

Yes indeed, I think so.
