I'm not surprised at all. The amount of censorship on Reddit over the past decade has been absolutely abysmal. There are so many deleted posted and broken links, on things that have nothing to do with anything controversial. They were retroactively deleted from forums because the users engaged in wrong-think later:
Talking about censorship on Reddit misses the mark by a wide shot.
The more accurate framing is that Reddit IS the DNC and FBI, and they wear it like a sock puppet to lead normies by the nose via bots and operatives, just like u/Maxwellhill did for years (Ghislaine Maxwell).
It was funny watching the small awakening that happened after the Trump assassination attempt. Even the normiest of them were like "hey guys, do you think we're being fed a bunch of DNC shit?"
