    I’m sure spaz has bots rolling over the site like a roomba, to clean up mentions of Lemmy.

    There’s nothing removed though? I’m seeing the post and all comments. And it’s a low effort meme in a subreddit for discussions on how to buy local instead of US products, so I’d agree with a mod if they did remove it.

      The top comment was about creating a forum to ditch Reddit, seems quite relevant for the sub

        It seems to only be “blocked” or something on the new front-end. Old reddit seems fine. Very weird.

          They forgot to enshittify the old UI. Sometimes there’s a silver lining when companies forget about some features.

          Yeah, I can see the whole thread using Stealth.

          Lots of updoots for the person saying Lemmy “is just terrible”. They seem like an idiot but they’re getting traction.

          It was always like this. What’s even more fun is that if a mod deletes your own comment you still see it which enables things like localised shadowbans via AutoMod.

      I was expecting that as the goal of the community is to promote EU software, they would at least let those kind of posts be

    You picked and chose the reason that made you angry, but they also mention repeated posts, which is probably the reason why it got removed if there are other posts about Lemmy…

    But it didn’t get removed, did it? It’s just a mod comment that’s there are a warning.

    It’s also just a meme and not something that actively contributes to the movement.

    Platforms should not carry advertise for their competitors so this is fair. This should be an official policy though, not a random removal.

    I don’t understand why restaurants allow ads for competing restaurants while I’m eating. (they probably don’t have a choice, but if I was an owner that would be a reason to remove the screens) Transit operators should not have ads for cars. reddit should not have ads for lemmy.

      If your food sucks so much that you have to hide the existence of other restaurants… maybe improve your food to retain customers.

      That’s anti-competitive monopolistic behavior, not normal. You shouldn’t expect me to eat every meal at your restaurant.
