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've used Reveddit for ages. It's good to see when mods sneakily remove your posts, so others can't see it but to you it looks like nobody responded to your post.

People might be surprised at how many of their posts might have been sneakily removed without their knowledge by mods.

Yep. I happened to go to a post on a browser I wasn't signed in on, and like a minute after I posted something it said removed

But to me in my account, it was fine

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 just looked through some of my removed posts and it makes no sense for most.

I have some political posts and I can see why they might get removed but most of them make no sense
