MODERATORS
I'm pretty sure Automod still needs some fine-tuning, as I also found myself recently caught by it for making a post with a bunch of community links in !general@lemmy.world, which I happen to moderate. 😅
It was resolved quickly and I understood why it may have flagged it (lots of links! that's sus!), but that was enough of a tell to me that it's still being worked on. Your experience also suggests as much I think. Due to the nature of it I wouldn't expect too much clarity since they don't want to enable evading it, but hopefully they at least drop by to be like, "Yeah sorry, still a work-in-progress."
Edit:
Regarding the second post, that wasn't automod, that was one of us in General Discussion. Sorry about that, probably would have been better to point you here and lock it rather than remove it. I'll talk to them about that for future reference.
I also thought initially something along those lines, that it’s a bug not a feature. Time will tell I guess which of the 2 it is.
I don't know why you would say this. Here is a screenshot I took yesterday.
Mainly because I'm one of the moderators of the community, and so can see some more detail on what happened. I wasn't aware that AutoMod is set to notify people when their posts/comments have been moderated, which is why you received that message.
As you can gather, AutoMod isn't something community moderators have deployed themselves (which is why I'm as unaware as you are of some of its functions), but is something from the admins in an effort to help moderate the instance as a whole.
