I understand that. I don't always put a removal reason if I feel that it could cause tension, but if it's a clear violation of the rules, which is a majority of what gets removed, then I do.

From what I’ve seen, when there’s a removal somewhere in the comments, it usually leads to a lot of people butting in and wanting to know “what did they say that would cause that?” Which then leads to other people “helpfully” chiming in and regurgitating the offending content (often lost in translation) which just leads to more people piling on.
If I really truly feel like someone wouldn’t understand why a specific comment would be removed, I can send a ModMail, but it’s very infrequent that I (or any other mod, or any other reasonable user) would look at a removed comment without saying “Yep, I can see why that would be removed.”
For posts, I try and make sure to always leave a reason.
