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?

    I’m not saying this is untrue, it may only apply to certain combinations of words or maybe even only channels over a certain size. But I’ve been chatting to a couple people over on YT about Mastodon the last few days, and nothing untoward happened to our convos.

    That said, a lot of the time perfectly normal comments get flagged as spam for literally no reason at all, so it could just be general incompetence rather than malicious targeting.
