Is the Rust Reddit Community Overly Regulated?

I've just noticed more and more comments being removed lately. Most recently comments on this post about ThePhd no longer talking at RustConf.

I know it's hard moderating a community forum. I think it is necessary, but there's a line past which it starts feeling a bit "big-brother"ly. It leaves a taste of "what don't they want me to see?" in my mouth.
