Why is there so much [deleted] on Reddit, they clearly didn't delete themselves?

I can't ask this question on Reddit, because I have serious suspicions and the moderators banned me for fun when I registered on my LanskoyK account. If you open these questions on the Internet by searching on Reddit itself, the main answers are deleted along with the users, it's the same in politics, and not only there. Does Reddit really manage to filter and track all those who disagree with it and its leftist views(I don't mind of leftist views, but there are no others, this is strange), and I'm not just talking about subreddits now, but on all of Reddit, this is impossible? What should I do? Where is the normal community?

I'm not talking about my site wide ban, I have been writing appeals about it for 4-5 months, but the reddit admins are absent, and I only participated in the IT and ML subreddits. My question is, isn't Reddit trying to control people's opinions, because there are a lot of unipolar answers on it?

[Removed] is when Reddit admins remove something . [Deleted] is when the op of the comment/thread deletes it themselves or mods of the subreddit delete your posts. Instabans are usually fingerprinted or ip based. That means you got banned for ban evasion. From the looks of it you don’t have a problem with the platform you have a problem with subreddits were no one seems to be interested in your opinions or finds them offensive. Maybe use ones that are more suited to your „content“.

Deleted means the own user deleted his content. Removed means that the subreddit mods did it. Removed by Reddit means that the Reddit admins did it.

Lots of people deleted their posts and accounts because of Reddit's decisions to kill their third party app ecosystem with API fees and selling of data.

Congratulations on waking up from your coma or escaping from underneath the rock or whatever other circumstance lead to you missing large events from the past few years.

Nope. Usually it happens in chains. Multiple comments in the same thread one after another get deleted. Sub comments etc.

Reddit mods can also give comments hundreds of upvotes with a button. So they lock threads and make it look justified by giving the top comments disagreeing with the thread hundreds of upvotes.

This is true for a lot of older threads you'll go through and find the poster deleted their account and sometimes all their posts along with it.

There's a few tools for this purpose out there, such as Power Delete Suite for Reddit [1] and Redact [2]. Maybe some people can share some others. I'd like to find something I could use to backup old reddit posts then delete them or my comments.

Reddit moderators have the power to artificially boost comments with hundreds of upvotes, shaping and controlling public opinion deliberately.

I once made a thread titled "Is Spotify Just Porn for the Ears?" discussing the dangers of mindless dopamine consumption. It started going viral, with hundreds of comments pouring in within minutes. All of the top-voted comments agreed with my points, sparking a detailed and insightful discussion.

Then, the moderators stepped in. They locked the thread. Almost immediately, comments disagreeing with my post were suddenly showered with hundreds of upvotes.

From that moment on, anyone stumbling upon the thread would see a locked discussion with the most upvoted comments disagreeing with me - making the moderators' decision appear justified.

Draw your own conclusions.

I'm still wondering what it was about the thread they did not want the public to discuss. What exactly triggered them and is on their list of keywords or topics to censure. I remember I mentioned something about dopamine being in gland in the brain, and if you use it up, the gland gets emptied. Then you feel low. So you should let the gland fill up and feel high all the time. Avoid using it up.

That dopamine does not get "downregulated" and all this nonsense about "rewiring" neurons etc was junk science and i backed it up strong with references and ideas. Anyway, Reddit has a monopoly and the mods are a bunch of marxist incels trying to stop people talking about loads of stuff like carnivore diets, like how auto immune disease is caused by fungal infections mostly in the gut.... so what can we do. Marxists hate humanity and probably even themselves.
