Fediverse @lemmy.world

A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

www.reddit.com /r/technology/comments/1i6rp3o/decentralized_social_media_is_the_only/

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf's profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in
- Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.
- Gotta be. It was right after I made the edit.
  
  actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn't seem to happen in r/fediverse
  no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed
  no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol
  
  Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.
  
  Wild. Do we know if there's anything else on the list.
  
  A word block-list isnt that rare
- Oh crap
- Is 500 upvotes that much on reddit?
  On lemmy its huge, but on reddit i have seen posts with twice that in niche subreddits
  
  For a comment it's a lot yea, especially since the thread was still pretty new. It was the top comment in that thread by a large margin.
