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?
YouTube comments have always been a veiled lie. There’s some sort of algorithm at work not to mention the dislike button on comments just doesn’t work. I wouldn’t put too much thought behind it, if anything I’d say discussing it on Reddit/Twitter is a better way to get heard.
