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?

i noticed this too. i watched multiple videos about how big tech is ruining the internet and i always comment telling folks to come to the fediverse, but whem i came back later to check on it i noticed my comment just want there. maybe a bug or maybe google is trying to stifle the open internet?
