Apparently there is a site-wide censor that deletes comments based on key words?

I've been a member of r/C_S_T for a while, a "critical thinking" sub where we discuss all sorts of things from spirituality to aliens to politics. So earlier we were having a lively discussion about the difference between 1984-style doublethink vs. resolving contradictory facts. In my haste to present a relevant analogy I used some doubleplus ungood crimethink words. [screenshot of my comment in context](https://snipboard.io/GmzZRu.jpg) and [permalink](https://www.reddit.com/r/C_S_T/comments/ferkb4/doublethink_means_the_power_of_holding_two/fjrxddt/) The comment below mine is a moderator of the sub who couldn't figure out what happened. It was not deleted by the mods of the sub. But it looks like it was on the archive sites... which is how I discovered this sub. :) I know the site-wide censor also blocks domains such as BitChute, but those can be unblocked in Automod. Can crimethink no-no words be unblocked too? Or was the comment and others like it deleted by some sitewide supermod?

I've had comments be deleted against the mods wishes as well, they all pertained to censorship and the containment and elimination of wrongthink. Is it bad that I can't see any nono words in your post? It almost seems like there are admins browsing who didn't like your context and sniped it from the database. Which is something they promised they couldnt do anymore after spez got caught

It doesn't seem like it's a word, but rather a phrase that caused it. My guess is that anything that doesn't support certain agendas is auto censored.

If this was some sort of sitewide of issue with the content posted wouldn't it be fairly easy to repost and test it? Edit: That's creepy as fuck, I [replied](https://www.reveddit.com/y/Walloped/?before=t1_fjx6fld&limit=1&sort=new&show=t1_fjx6kk1&removal_status=all) to this message with the content of your removed message and it was instantly deleted. Edit2: It's the link, I have zero clue why but w w w.todayifoundout.c o m is getting removed by a sitewide automod.

Wow I kind of bone-headed it then. I did a [search on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/search?q=todayifoundout.com&include_over_18=on) and saw a bunch of results, but I didn't pay attention that they were 4 years ago! Thank you so much. *edit no... One month ago is the most recent visible link. I'm just ditzy today.
