I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes "[ Removed by Reddit ]" after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

They banned the RedditAlternatives sub a few days ago. If it wasn’t the case before, it probably is now. This situation must be rattling some cages at Reddit regardless of what Spez said.

It's not banned now (for what that's worth)

Interesting, I wonder if they’ve decided that the negative publicity of appearing to censor alternative platforms wouldn’t be worth it. Begs the question as to why they’re still apparently removing links to lemmy.ml if that’s the case though.

When did they do that? I tried just now and it's not banned.

It was a few days ago, I’ve just been told it’s back online now.

It wasn't banned this morning on 3rd party apps (Infinity) 😮
