Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.

Appreciate it. The moderator's comment shows I got it wrong. Considering how promptly the post was taken down and then put back up, it might have been an automated action triggered by reports. To be honest, this lines up with the not-so-great LTT fan community. Sad.

it might have been an automated action triggered by reports.

It could well be, but knowing how terse and opaque the site-wide moderation is on Reddit I fear we will never really know. The important thing is that it is now back and even if it was a clumsy attempt at censorship by some of the fan base, as you hypothesize, it failed.
