They linked to comments and the sub too. Change the url from reddit.com/whatever to reveddit.com/whatever and you can see most of deleted comments.
And even with a link you can see which comment it was in context and argue reddit was wrong/made the wrong decision/trying to burry something. They can also just ban people from discussions and claim it was “something they did in the past” but not say what.
Deleted, not edited comments. The linked comment would be edited to say “Removed by Reddit”, which reveddit wouldn’t see as a deleted comment, and it didn’t keep an edit history so there was no way to see what the comment said before (I know, I tried).
You could see it in context, but if you thought you didn’t break any rules, that wouldn’t help much, and no way to argue it.
Anyway, my best ban was for “violent content” from a sub with no link. Decided to blank the last month of comments… and got suspended site wide for repeated “violent content” offense. Blanked 10 years of comments… and that bought me 2 more years before getting suspended again, and perma banned when I appealed the suspension.
Cherry on the top: a couple months after being perma-banned site-wide, last week I got banned from a sub. Reason: link to a blanked comment, “breaking the sub rules”. OK 🥱
They used to link to the content… then you followed the link, and all it said was “Removed by Reddit”. Guess they’re saving you a step there 🤷

Reddit is not doing this to save you a click.
