Two out of three currently aren't removed. There's no moderator comment on the third, but a fair number of upvotes and user comments; I think it was flagged by users.

How can you tell? Those are from a week and a half ago. The OP's definition of 'removed' is (if I understand correctly) 'dropped from the top-30 to below the top-90 in 1 minute'.
There's a difference between removed and removed from the front page.
IIRC: Mods can downrank a post so that it doesn't change anything for users, aside from the fact it won't be on the front page.

That's a big change?
HN is a leftist echo chamber, so “flagged by users” is still a relevant and interesting metric here (that I think would also prove my point).
