Interesting side-note, reddit’s anti-VPN policies and blocking some archivers like ghostarchive.

      Just sharing a personal experience here: I reached out to my country subreddit mods yesterday to ask if I could create a post about Lemmy in the context of the latest Reddit decisions preventing strikes.

      They told me they would not allow it as it was self promotion, and that I should stop mentioning Lemmy in comments where people complain about Reddit.

      Very frustrating when you see how active communities like !ich_iel@feddit.org is, as the subreddit mods promoted Lemmy during the 2023 strike

        It just means the existing mods are more interested in holding on to power than for the wellbeing of their community, even if that means they’re unpaid disrespected jannies for spez.

          I don’t listen to them, they are the ones who remove mentions to Lemmy on their sub. They already banned me in the the past for that, so this time I checked before hand

        ich_iel on reddit still promotes Lemmy in the Sidebar, Automod comments under every post and a tab at the top of the page. The mods of the country sub refused to move, but most of them are dicks anyways.
