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.
Not sure about removing comments, but I had manually unsubscribed from each subreddit I had a sub to; I keep checking every few days and Reddit keeps adding back subscriptions 2-4 subs, so I manually remove those again, and sure enough - a few days later a couple others reappear
Wow! I’d heard that you can use shreddit.com to delete your comment history. I had ZERO knowledge that they can put it back. Holy @!$#!
That is seriously strange. What’s the benefit to resubscribing you?
Reducing the count of inactive users, keeping subscriber counts at previous numbers, and back tracking the wave of accounts wiping out all their content
I had manually edited about 6 months of posts and comments to just point to join-lemmy.org and lemmy.world
I checked earlier today and they were all restored to before the edit.
I then deleted the account
7 years and almost 69k reddit points (karma) into the dumpster fire
Maybe we should all delete 10 or so comments every day. The idea is to overwhelm them with hordes of small deletions.
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.
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.
Regular removals are just [Removed] for others, while you as the original writer can still see your comment like nothing happened.
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.
I am done with Reddit, will try and visit this place instead. If it fails, I will just migrate to Discord

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.
Were you posting lemmy/kbin links but any chance? It seems they setup bots to automatically remove posts and comments containing those.
Yeah. But almost all of the comments where I drop links are still up
It’s reddit censoring messages about their competitors. Whether its automated, manual or a combination of those, I’m not sure.
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.
You could probably try one of those “cool fonts” websites.
Thats actually an interesting idea. Might try one of the more unobtrusive ones.
I could have sworn I saw this on that r/modcoord thread someone shared. Several mods listed their new lemmy or kbin magazine and when I looked against later the comment was removed. I wish I had taken a screenshot.
we must be creative, like post it in a picture/video with watermark of lemmy/kbin address that concisely explain lemmy/kbin. overtime people will realize why every reddit post has this address. its not instant, just gradual migration.
Getting a sitewide link permaban is the highest honor that Reddit can give to a website.
“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…”
You mean reddit would do shady shit to save its IPO? No way!!!
Can you give an example of one that’s removed?
Here’s an example of it in action
