You want to google "anti-competitive practices". Though I don't think Reddit is doing that right now. We would hear this happening a lot more if this was implemented site wide. It's more likely that the mods of the specific subreddit have updated their own Automoderator rules to filter such posts.

I agree, without being able to read the linked the article, I assume this was a subreddit specific thing that happened. If that's the case, it's probably a good thing. I'm in a few subs where people constantly post links to alternatives and it floods the feed with useless posts. I understand that the lemmy situation is somewhat different as reddit is being a pain right now, but in general it's a dick move to go into a community and start spamming links to a different one.

It would appear as [removed] if it was removed by mods, a mod bot such as AutoModerator, the spam filter, or it was posted by a shadow-banned user. [Removed by Reddit] means that it was removed by Reddit's Anti-Evil Operations. I'm a mod elsewhere and the text matches other comments that AEO has removed on my sub.

  It looks like the AEO removed it although I think as a normal user you actually can't distinguish if it was actually removed or the user just used that text. Great job at development, as usual, by Reddit. But the modlog on new reddit should have a reason why it was removed and the actual text before removal. So the mods on that subreddit could verify that claim.
