Without knowing what was deleted, I can take a guess why. The author has a long history of an inflammatory commentary style, while nevertheless making good points (same tbh). I’d love to see them come back and write with a more calibrated level of inflammation—ie, definitely not none, this is an “immune system, activate” post, which is why it needs the politics label. But there’s still quite a lot of dissent, and the deleted comment author is free to post the same thing again elsewhere, eg a shortform—where it can then be read by looking at the deleted comments list.

I tried being more polite many times over the last months on Discord. All it got was dismissal, because anxietybrain is anxietybrain.
That may be why you believe it to have been dismissed. Sometimes reasonable minds can disagree about predictions.
