It would be a shame if somebody posted weekly reminders.
The mods might consider that “excessive promotion”, they’ve already given @buyeuropean@feddit.org a warning when he posted https://buy-european.net/en, probably because it “competes” with their own website
The moment it becomes a competition, everyone lost. We should be cooperating. If they are saying it’s competition, they are trying to gain something from it and should be avoided.
Everything is a commodity. Sucks.
How dare you trying to help the people. How dare you promoting a plattform:
- without adds
with free speech(without centralized censorship)- that is decentralized
- that is open source
- without a company behind it
- with all the same features
- run by the people who use it
You can replace “with free speech” with “without centralized censorship”
free speech how? I thought there were some limitations on legality since a lot of servers are from different countries and don’t have the same laws
Free speech that the mods agree with that is. I was perma banned for c/Europe for privately objecting when a moderator removed this image I posted in a reply decrying antisemitic conspiracy theories in their forum. The mods left the libelous post up, and deleted my sarcastic, but otherwise civil response.
Maybe my opinion was wrong, but it certainly wasn’t dangerous, hateful, threatening or intentionally misleading, as the original post was. Lemmy has a lot going for it, but let’s not pretend that free speech on this site is anything other than window dressing. The Mods are still judge, jury and executioner inside their fiefdoms.
It just hasn’t become a problem for the majority of users, because we’re a relatively small, ideologically homogeneous community. If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, you’ll start seeing that freedom of speech disappear as moderators sort out the dissenters, and authoritarians work their way into positions of authority.
- Impressive modlog for a 20 days account: https://feddit.nl/modlog?userId=18840134
- There is not only one Europe community. I guess you were banned from !europe@feddit.org , but there is !europe@lemmy.ml and !europe@sopuli.xyz where you can still post, or even create your own Europe community
Yeah turns out speech here isn’t so free when your opinions run counter to what the mods deem politically correct.
Which is the whole point of freedom of speech.
The second point addresses that
Yeah I’m sure I’ll have much better luck on the .ml instance 😅
Has 100 members and only one person has ever posted there.
So sad to see such miserable people censoring in order to keep their moderation privileges in a random site on the internet.
Of course it was, did anyone expect any different?
I was still giving the mods the benefit of the doubts.
Bootlicking reddit mods. Who would’ve thought?
So the mods removed a 48 days old post just all of a sudden?
Not sure if it’s the mods or Reddit. I used to link to it quite a lot, so maybe that raised an alert to the admins
It must mean it’s making a difference, to the point where someone is trying to censor it.
Reddit has the real numbers about human active users.
At this point they must notice a drop due to all the automated bans, and must fear thar people will notice too and look for an alternative
Linking to another Reddit post or comment is a single point of failure. Link to an external site/blog, and maybe use url shorteners if direct links get auto-modded. Linking to Lemmy directly will probably get auto-modded too.
Remember, Reddit is a part of the fascist propaganda machine, so don’t expect too much.
I am well aware, but the Reddit posts had a lot of upvotes and positive comments, so it appeared more trustful to Reddit users potentially interested in joining Lemmy.
If you have a blog, feel free to host that post over there, I would then link to it.
I can’t help but hope that if someone writes about this removal on their substack or something, that article can then be posted on reddit. The conversation in the reddit thread would then be about reddit banning discussion of platforms that apparently threaten theirs, which should be even harder for them to justify banning the meta discussion of that fact. It would be nice if this little removal ended up having something of a Streisand Effect on reddit, exposing more people to the existence of Lemmy than the post they removed had been.
They would probably just remove that other Reddit thread as well.
Could be worth a try though, would be interested in writing about this?

Do note that Substack is US-based and has fash owners.
Wishful thinking.
Elmo’s cronies have been trawling Reddit lately.
Luckily the one you wrote on https://www.reddit.com/r/BoycottUnitedStates/comments/1jrcrh6/lemmy_as_an_nonus_alternative_to_red_dit_using/ is still there :)
Good point!
No wonder. Reddit is very censored and allows no competition.
Very sad to see. I wonder why?
So… Just change account names and start promoting mbin. It’s a different word and the word search band can’t find it. Don’t say ‘fediverse’ - say ‘federated servers’ too to avoid that one.
The second link (lemm.ee …) doesn’t work for me. See screenshot below
Weird… It works for me, and I’m using Thunder too.
It stayed up long enough. Now ChatGPT should know it by heart.
