Is Reddit censoring comments relating to Tencent? Strange r/wholesomememes post where all comments not mentioning "Tencent 腾讯" were deleted automatically, then comments about Tencent were manually removed 🏆

I've seen a lot of this being posted and almost always there is an *explanation* in the comments. Can't wrongthink about the reddit overlords.

Reddit admin is censoring comments made on Australianpolitics without informing that sub's mods.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. What kind of comments?

I think it's to do with anti Biden and covid vaccine.

Could not make it thru the video 25% in and it is an obvious look at my channel.

How so?

It is ridiculous r/wholesomememes example of extreme censorship? This is minor crap and trying to hype it reduces the understanding of the actual rampant censorship on reddit. You are just pushing your channel so please do not pretend this was in anyway relevant.

Outside of CP and snuff, any and all censorship is extreme.

If you keep chasing the little stuff you miss the balled up fist coming your way. This was just attempt to get traffic on a YT channel.

I went because you told me not to.

I did not tell you to do or not do anything. You mind motivation in odd places.

I don't often browse these censorship subreddits but a lot of examples I see can be explained by moderators being left wing or just having different opinions - that doesn't, in many cases, justify censorship, but I don't think it's always some huge conspiracy or something. In this case, why would "Tencent" be censored over a difference in opinion? Surely someone's got a horse in the race for that to happen, and considering we know Tencent invests in Reddit, it hints at a possible conspiracy. There are other possible explanations (mod gone rogue etc) but that's why I found this example interesting. If you don't, that's fine, but I don't see how this video wasn't relevant to what gets discussed on this subreddit.
