I know that the Firefox subreddit was doing this a couple of years ago. Although I half suspect that they were using swear words as an excuse to remove any criticism of Firefox. And after multiple run ins with them and messaging them to ask why my comment was removed (no swearing isn’t actually a listed rule in the sidebar), I’m pretty sure they just started doing it for shits and giggles too.
The last straw for me was when someone mentioned an old app and I said “holy crap, I remember that app!” Checked a couple minutes later in reveddit (which had become a habit when posting in Firefox) and sure enough, my comment was removed. That was the last time I ever went near that sub.
