I've just asked question in kindle subreddit about reader differences, no links/promoting/etc, next day my post was disappear. And it's common practice on reddit. So yeah, fantastic micro culture!

I'm sorry but what does your anecdote prove here? Reddit is a collection of thousands of subreddits, moderated by a wide range of people, your experience in the Kindle subreddit doesn't say anything about the micro culture of another subreddit. There are good and bad communities on Reddit, that is the beauty and the flaw of it at the same time: you have to find them. Yeah, it is commmon practice for some subreddits, go find other communities. I've been part of very shitty ones 10 years ago when I didn't know how it worked, for years now I just tailor my usage for what I want, like and need.

You are aware that moderation varies wildly between subtedddits, right? With that in mind, what you are saying actually has no bearing on the GPs comment at all.

It was likely removed because the FAQ [0] already lists the differences and searching shows [1] that the question has come up before. Good culture != the ability to substitute the subreddit for Google or your own research. This is quite normal on Reddit. If questions like this are allowed, the subreddit often becomes inundated with them and there's no room for discussing anything else.

  My question wasn't in FAQ and not Google-first-search related.

    You think that... Tencent had your questions about Kindles censored? But why? That doesn’t even make any sense. Much more likely, the independent moderators of that subreddit decided that it wasn’t a helpful post.

  Honestly I never use reddit search. Even if I remember the actual title or parts of the title I can't find the post again. Maybe it's improved but it was absolute garbage the last time I tried.

    The best way to search on reddit is to use the "site:reddit.com/r/subreddit" method on Google, quickly gets you relevant results and is not that much of an effort either.
