Over the time new youtube videos crop up talking about reddit, twitch and twitter issues. And in those comment sections I always like to spread the word of alternatives (like the fediverse). But whenever I do, those comments get quietly removed even though they seem to be posted in the first place.

Whenever I try to add further details, for example name dropping lemmy/bin pixelfeed peertube and mastodon, to previously posted comments those error out and gets deleted entirely.

Anyone else made that observation?

yeah I didn't even link any of them, just mentioned the joinfediverse.wiki if at all was enough to get it buried. I really dislike their transparency about what is allowed and what isn't.

That would be recognized as a link

You mean Lemmy dot world. Does that get filterered?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if that would get filtered out, but I assume it would since it has "lemmy" in the text.

What do they have against motorhead. They clearly don't like to gamble...

They really try to play with the dead man's hand.

Writing the exact link will make it a link, just like it did here. Then that link gets recognized by the filter and taken out. Gotta go joinfediverse dot wiki or something like "just Google the Fediverse"
