Reddit rolled out some wacky automatic moderation lately, that shadow-hides comments based on keywords, and optionally issues warnings to the users. Its severity depends on the particular subreddit. The beauty of it, of course, is that it doesn’t take any context into account, and in fact doesn’t involve a human until an appeal (if at that, even). Moreover, discussion of Reddit moderation itself may also be hidden.
You might’ve not been aware of it unless you’ve opened the threads in which you participated, in an incognito tab.
