What's with the heavy moderating of the protest posts? BLM protest never received this kind of moderating.

threads locked right away, some less than 24 hrs after posting. it's a protest happening in Austin. it has to do with Austin. the fact it's being so heavily moderated makes it look like reddit doesn't like the people to gather when the topic is anti big business. this is a place to discuss the happening in Austin, and I can't even comment on a thread posted 6 hrs ago. BLM protest never received this kind of moderating from reddit, so what gives? why is this different?

Edit: yes, obviously I'm aware of the megathread, the question is have is why is this being moderated so diffrent from past protest?
