It's probably a combination of overzealous automods and Reddit's algorithm deciding your thoughts aren't worthy, because, let's be honest, most of us just post garbage anyway

i would say this is because subreddit rules, spam filters, low account history or posting something that does not match the community.

Is Reddit filtering more aggressive now or is it mainly subreddit automods?

Yes, Reddit become much stricter and many accounts get banned. It is not mainly subreddit automods but it about the content quality and off topic replies. If you post any off topic comment it get removed after posting according to the subreddit rules.

It is a combination of the two, however the spam filters across all of Reddit as well as the automated CQS (Contributor Quality Score) monitoring system has gotten extremely aggressive recently, and has completely overridden any local subreddit rules. Your posts will be ghosted immediately if you trigger any of the machine learning models on the network level.

Most likely because of subreddit policies and spam filters.

I do not think it is just Reddit becoming more aggressive. Many moderators have tightened their automod settings because of the increase in spam and AI generated content.

i thinks its this, one think reddit hates is AI being spammed on the site, and not being able to train thier own ai ON organic user comments.
