Maybe im misinterpreting the situation but I’ve seen mods straight up delete comments they dont agree with and im curious about how common this is.

I’d say “no, but”… on Beehaw, you may find whole comment threads removed as “non productive”.
There is no financial incentive to promote “engagement”, so the policy is to apply a wide brush stroke to anything that looks like disruptive bickering… plus the subjective interpretation of the philosophy “rules”. Sometimes nuances get lost, sometimes off-topic discussions that could’ve been migrated to a different community, or continued via DM, get lost, and you may see mods deleting comments they “don’t agree with” in those wide brush strokes.
On average, it keeps a semblance of civilization though, so… 🤷
