reddit has been trying to help bots/propaganda astroturf anti-trump, anti-republican content for the whole last year. i have heard there is significant amount of comment and post removals over it, and some bans.

People are claiming reddit is doing it as well.

Looks like it’s getting close to the Streisand kiss of death.

I’m curious as to just how easy it’d be to get around the censorship.
Like, just find one article from a news outlet that links the site, and share that article.
Or otherwise share a fediverse link to a post to the site.

I thought fediverse stuff was getting blocked on reddit too.

Only if it portrays Lemmy in a positive light. You can criticize our toxicity and left-leaning political biases as much as you like in r/RedditAlternatives though:-P.

Narrative control is entirely in the hands of who can hand out bans.

I don’t think we’re particularly toxic, insult matches between MLs and other lefties aside and even then it’s usually infinitely better than your average 4chan thread.
Then again Hexbear being blocked by so many instances prolly helps.

People who do that truly don’t actually want an alternative, huh?
They just want Reddit under new management

It’s not about hiding it, it’s about bending knee and placating tyrants.
