Social Media Reddit Is Restricting Luigi Mangione Discourse—but It’s Even Weirder Than That: The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet.

I use the Reveddit widget and get instant notifications when a post is removed. Happens quite a lot and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

It is a dick move of them to just remove the post from visibility and make the OP think their post is still visible, though.

I, a non moderator, am able to create custom feeds. Therefore it follows that all any person would need to do what I just described is the addition of moderator powers. (This custom feeds thing is absolutely real. In fact i created my own called reddit.com/me/mes or something likr that, a private feed for meme accounts and meme subreddits.)
