allegedly said thread is hard coded as spam! Unbelievable: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fuckthealtright/comments/9hlhsx/why...
relevant information that may offer a theory on the censorship:

Who financed a famous wrestler caught up in a sex tape scandal to permanently censor a media outlet that displeased him?
Who has a history of working closely with social media network founders and companies?
Who has the most to lose out of this Trump-Russia collusion scandal?
The article you yourself linked to mentions no connection to Reddit. A top level comment in the original link points to the Reddit admins stating that the user deleted their own post and it was not censored by the site.
So rather than blaming OP or admins for deleted content. Fact is that it's archived for the world to see and even though it's creator is gone for whatever reason.
Admins didn't need 2 years to start an investigation over 1 highly visible post. Censored or not their response is negligible and the entire situation is in dire need of attention by all parties involved. Community and management alike.
My dad recently sent me a series of articles from a news aggregate, including one that basically what-about-ed a politician in response to the recent allegations surrounding Brett Kavanaugh. Oddly enough, all of these articles were from the same site with a pretty generic name (think something like "currenteventsamerica dot com"), all had a conservative tilt, and had little to no information on who ran the site.
I don't really know where to begin aside from looking into who owns the domain.
Unless I'm physically there at the time these things happen all we can do is build a good enough idea of how things played out by looking at all the information available.
People in general tend to hyper focus on things sometimes not even relevant at all to the things they want to know and miss the point entirely.
These sites and propaganda exploit our laziness towards due diligence. And it also doesn't help that the world isnt particularly honest with themselves or tech illiterate.
