The only way to tell if a post was mod removed on old reddit when direct linked, if there is no mod removal message (itself a cowardly indicator), is if the thumbnail shown turns blank and shows the “snoo with ?”. Reddit appears to purge thumbnails from removed posts.
Of note, old.reddit doesn’t display the “this post has been removed” message while new.reddit does; in old the post appears to still be up and normal.
This is fairly standard, though, whether or not that message shows in old.reddit has always been wildly inconsistent.
yep I used old, because on new I don’t see the image, only title + post removed message.
some of the comments are pretty good too, at least the ones with positive karma
