Post on /r/BuyFromEU mentions Lemmy, gets removed by mods for "low effort content"
I‘ve just left Reddit to join Lemmy. It did not hurt.
Welcome! Feel free if you have any questions
I’m sure spaz has bots rolling over the site like a roomba, to clean up mentions of Lemmy.
I'd like to see a campaign of promoting Motorhead go viral just to make it harder on Späz
Neo: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change.
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
To see it removed, try https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j3997s/european_software_engineers_right_now/
Seriously, this starts to get stupid
you know whats stupid? that you can't find this post on reddit.com, it even isn't listed anymore but the direct link to it works O.o?
So its just shadow-removed? The heck is going on over there?
And that's why we're here and not there. Who cares anymore? And who's surprised?
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
No, not like that!
The great irony.
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.
What is reddit?
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.
That's anti-competitive monopolistic behavior, not normal. You shouldn't expect me to eat every meal at your restaurant.
If your food sucks so much that you have to hide the existence of other restaurants... maybe improve your food to retain customers.
