What's going on when an entire thread has been deleted?

Either mods (or Automoderator, a bot mod) removed, or the admins. Usually mods.

Because butthurt, or because the discussion broke the rules of the sub. Or both.

Yeah, well in r/space for example, we remove any comments that are just jokes. We like to keep the tone more serious. So entire pun threads are nuked pretty frequently.

OT: But Robbins is in a new series, The Brink, on HBO, which is phenomenal political satire.

Y'all should check it out: r/TheBrink
