I’ve been on reddit spreading the good word of Lemmy and Kbin, and occasionally the text of one of my comments will be replaced with [Removed by Reddit]
Any idea what could be provoking this? It seems to happen way more often on the big subreddits. It seems automated to me, but sometimes deleting my comment and reposting a copy seems to bypass whatever is doing the deleting? But only sometimes. Idk.
I am done with Reddit, will try and visit this place instead. If it fails, I will just migrate to Discord
Really been enjoying Lemmy so far. scratches that Reddit itch. Just need my favorites to regrow (hermitcraft, OSRS, ect)

Discord being just another privately run service should be a major turn-off
The soundboard is utter cancer
You can always just mute the soundboard. I for one love the soundboard… makes for some great jokes and memes between close friends.
Oh i didn’t know you could, i was listening to 10+ people spamming it at once because i couldn’t block it lmao.
Yeah, if you open the soundboard there is an option to change its volume. I’m *fairly *certain it’s a global change, but it could be a per-server thing.
Same shit is going to happen to Discord one day. A centralised closed source company… You should consider a decentralised platform instead, like Matrix.
If you’re in Europe please report this to regulators.
How would that work? EU doesn’t force companies to keep comments on their sites.
Censoring user posts because they contain information about a competitor is an anticompetitive practice that is prohibited.
Reddit is a us company

That’s absolutely not true, you just made it up.
Getting a sitewide link permaban is the highest honor that Reddit can give to a website.
You could probably try one of those “cool fonts” websites.
Thats actually an interesting idea. Might try one of the more unobtrusive ones.
“it is the name of the guy from ratatoille but with a japanese accent”
“You know the legendary singer for Motorhead? Google him with the word social after it…”
If they have some kind of bot detecting links to Lemmy and removing them , maybe an image might work to spread the word?
Yeah I tried to post lemmy links several times and instantly the post was removed each time. It’s definitely some kind of automated bot removing lemmy links.
Go, Lemmy links! Stop Wikileaks!
This is censorship done by Reddit’s AEO (Anti “Evil” Operations), which are basically the admins moderation monkeys. I can’t state enough how much I hate them. They banned me for the dumbest shit, like saying that a fascist Italy should get kicked out of the EU & NATO (in a respectively relevant submission). This opinion was apparently worth a perma ban for “spreading hate” & denied appeal, in which I explained that both institutions require democratic foundations from their member states. They’re a big reason why I think Reddit went to shit over the past half a decade or so (I had hundrdes of thousands of karma before that with no issues for many years), because they’re either highly incompetent or have an agenda, or both. Meanwhile, they report you back that literal hate speech & calls for violence are “not a violation of their terms of service”.
The best thing about this censorship is that they even censor the comment from the writer itself. Regular removals are just [Removed] for others, while you as the original writer can still see your comment like nothing happened. Now you cannot even see your own comment, you can’t see what type of offending shit you’ve said, which also means you cannot possibly form a plausible defense for it - especially when the ban hammer comes like 3 weeks later and you don’t even remember what you’ve said there.
Wow; I didn’t realise how low they’ve been sinking.

What would really help is being able to create a Chrome tab which didn’t access cookies, so that I could check out my Reddit comments as an unlogged-in user. Not sure if that’s a thing, tho, or what it might be called.
EDIT: Whoops; I’m an idiot. “Incognito window” does the trick.
It’s called Incognito mode. You click the hamburger menu (3 stacked dots) and click New Incognito window. Then don’t login and you can view your profile as a guest would. Provided they don’t account for hiding those comments from the same IP.
I was banned for saying “you guys would be supporting the KKK and howling in the streets at the pretty lit cross if you were born in the late 1800s” in a thread about… get this… ALL Russians being evil and needing to be murdered.
So yeah, fucking insanity man. That was one of my 4 or 5 reddit permabans that were successfully appealed by the admins.
When hate is in vogue, the lemmings will leap (sorry Lemmy) at the chance to do it and you better not make them feel bad about their misplaced anger and hate or you’ll be sorry.
You mean reddit would do shady shit to save its IPO? No way!!!
Can you get around the bots by saying something like this?
- lemmy (dot) world
- lemmynsfw (dot) com
- kbin (dot) social
Couldn’t you also embed them in an image or gif.
Can you give an example of one that’s removed?
Here’s an example of it in action
That seems pretty egregious unless they had a stated rule about mentioning other sites, which I don’t believe they do. Admins have really gotten out of hand.
