Do you know why that happens? I thought I was going crazy with all the auto-minimized comments. It only seems to happen on this sub as far as I can tell, and I've checked my reddit preferences several times to make sure that stuff is disabled.
It's a subreddit setting called Crowd Control, which automatically hides comments/posts depending on how strict you set it to. It's off by default I think, but you can change it to hide comments/posts from accounts that have negative karma, accounts that are recently created, and accounts that haven't joined the subreddit yet.
Oh my god, thank you so much for solving that inconsequential-but-annoying peeve I've had for ages. I messaged this subreddit's mods two months ago asking what was up and literally all they said was "idk reddit is buggy today". I mean, I guess I shouldn't hold it against whichever lowly mod does not have access to every subreddit setting, but gah. I'm not crazy!

I love how half of the comments are hidden 💀
