Over the time new youtube videos crop up talking about reddit, twitch and twitter issues. And in those comment sections I always like to spread the word of alternatives (like the fediverse). But whenever I do, those comments get quietly removed even though they seem to be posted in the first place.

Whenever I try to add further details, for example name dropping lemmy/bin pixelfeed peertube and mastodon, to previously posted comments those error out and gets deleted entirely.

Anyone else made that observation?

    Yeah, that’s always been the problem and it’s really annoying when getting into a discussion (or argument) on a scientific topic and you can’t link to sources to debunk claims.

      Oh god, I can’t even imagine trying to argue over a scientific topic on YouTube. I hate the commenting system and the are so many trolls and idiots.

        Do not try to reason/argue with people who did not reason themselves into their view point. The most successful way to get peoples views to change is having a conversation that they lead and your gently steer.
