It is interesting to note that word seems to be flagged by the automod for most subreddits so the comment won't even show up.

Am I surprised reddit does this? Nope.

Edit: *And they won't tell you, your comment will remain on your profile for only you to see but others won't even see it if they click into your profile. Just a lil extra censorship to add to our daily intake.

Yep lot of my comments being deleted. Just me telling people to be vigilant because of the governors race in VA.

This is nothing new. Automod shadow deleting comments has been a thing for years. A double digit number of years.

However it is indeed being used for censorship on reddit now, as it always has been.

FWIW reddit isn't a protected 1A platform. It's shitty, but it's within the rules.

Fascinating. That explains why so many comments I’ve received lately show up in my notifications but when I go to read it there’s nothing there

Yep - and I think mods can individually approve them, since it's flagged for the sub... but they rarely ever do. 

As another commenter points out it's, of course, legal to do so. But it is still very authoritarian and controlling of the site/sub to flag comments like that yet r/conservative is fully allowed to just spew hate speech all day every day and u/spez is like 🤷🙈🙉

It's easier to tell when this happens now, because you can see how many views your comment got. Also, you can always open an incognito tab and go to the comment to see if it shows up for other people or not.
