It’s so toxic how Youtube will remove your comment on a video if you mention “Lemmy” or any other suggestion to descentralized alternatives to Technofeudalism. This has also happened to me on Reddit.

It’s frustrating that they treat the fediverse like a trigger word, it drowns the possibility to guide people to new communities.

Edit: Best guess is the VPN server that I was using was blacklisted. It’s weird to believe the word ‘Lemmy’ or ‘Fediverse’ is blacklisted as well, but I cant find other reasons.

    Has this happened multiple times? What else did the post contain? I can easily believe reddit not wanting Lemmy mentioned since it’s direct competition. I can’t think of a reason for YT to do the same, tbh.

      Yeah, i commented 3 times already, but theres no trace of the comments. All of them contained the word Lemmy. 🤷

        you probably got shadowbanned, they considered it spam, or didn’t like something else on the comment, the word itself is too generic, one could easily be talking about motorhead

        If you’re commenting too much they’ll just not let your comments go through. It has nothing to do with the content of your post though sometimes it has to do with the length.
