One of my comments (a top-rated one, no less) from this sub appears to have been caught in a new "toxic content" Reddit filter feature that was accidentally rolled out today. I opened the thread and found my comment collapsed as if it were below the karma score threshold. It was also collapsed within my own comment history.

Here's an admin confirming the leak. They offered some bullshit excuse about it being used only in "live threads," begging the question why it seems to work on a site-wide basis anyway. Though the update has been rolled back, I expect we may see many of our comments start to get censored in the coming weeks.

Some of the censoring appears to be triggered in response to comments that are deemed "violent" (a comment saying "I punched him" was allegedly filtered as well.) Other users have had their comments filtered simply for swearing.

Keep your eyes peeled.
