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?

    How does Lemmy or Mastadon compete with YouTube?

        That is fair, just odd to banish all mention of FOSS or federated services. If it is what they are doing, they don’t want people getting that kind of mindset I suppose.

          It simply struck me as odd today; dunno if they are constantly doing this.
