Well, I'm stretching the truth just a little here. It has been reported that they're censoring any links or mentions of the Fediverse (just like Twitter did with Mastodon), but they are engaging in gaslighting about the protests.

Most recently the subs that voted to become NSFW in protest marked themselves as such (thus self-filtering for anyone not wanting to see NSFW content), however the admins removed that designation from those subs... without removing the NSFW content first! They then sent the mods of those subs threatening messages about how the mods showed NSFW content to everyone without the proper filters in place!

Not sure about censoring links but they definetly rolled back manual edits i made to about 6 months of posts and comments pointing to join-lemmy.org and lemmy.world

Wtf seriously? That’s actually the worst offense I’ve heard from them so far - that tops the killing of 3rd party apps for me. Does it suck they killed 3rd party apps? Fuck yea. I left because of it. But I also recognize it’s their site and if they want to remove 3rd party apps they are within their right. But actively changing posts/removing edits is fucking WILD to me. Absolutely it’s censorship, fuck Reddit.

Mine too. If my wife looks at my account, all the comments I made with links to Lemmy are not visible, as if I didn’t ever post them. They’re only visible to me.

I would call that censorship. Take a look at the comments here: https://lemmy.world/post/353026

Also, here: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/70064

If they can't handle criticism of spez, how could they feel secure about people getting directed to Fediverse sites?

use power delete suite and do the edits again until you lose API access or they give up

I ran that thing several times with different payloads. Good Luck Reddit!

I popped on earlier today following a google link, I've made one comment in the last week or so, earlier today, when someone asked where everyone's migrating to... I said lemmy.world. So we'll see if they've got some kind of search filter setup I guess if that gets altered or left alone

A couple hundred of my edited and then deleted comments on my reddit account have shown back up since I ran Power Delete Suite. I re-ran that today, and I think it's getting severely rate limited now because a good third of my resurfaced comments did not get updated. So I manually edited those. I left all of them up after editing.

All of my existing comments tell people to join the fediverse. Let's see how many more of my old comments reappear now.

What if you change all your comments to Fuck u/Spez? Will the FuckSpezBot delete the comments for you?

I might have to try that tomorrow.

That's worth a shot!
