I'm more of a lurker and when I write anything it tends to be thoughtful and well sourced but a good 25% of my posts were taken off the site without any notification. How well are you faring?

lol r/politics didn't like it when I said "Pete-o-philes".
Other hits include:
Honestly and politely engaging with someone who said "I'm a republican and voting for Biden if he wins the primary."
Giving a link to Capital at marxists.org.
Implying that an article about "white anarchist infiltrators" at BLM protests had less than admirable intentions. (Maybe an automod trigger on "outside agitators.")
Not being reflexively convulsed with hatred at a mention of the GDR. (r/politics thread about a Jacobin article, someone posted a link without comment to a Jacobin article by an East German talking about the anniversary of some left-wing protest movement in the GDR, as a dunk I guess? My bad comment --> "The underlying point that East Germans wanted democracy, a free press, the end of the Stasi, better consumer goods, etc.—but weren’t asking for West German capitalists to buy up the entire country, close all the public services, close all the day cares, and fire all the female workers—is probably worth remembering. Less than 40% of East Germans see unification as a success.")
