I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.

Another shady thing Reddit does, if you say certain words or a sentence a certain way. It removes the comment. You still see your comment but it has actually been removed from the post.

This was meant to be the same kind of distinction. Ordinary abuse leaves a "removed" placeholder and spam vanishes.

It just vanishes when I was testing it. You can go to incognito mode and the comments are gone.
