Thanks for sharing this, really appreciate the clarity. Honestly, the interface, which they themselves created, doesn’t exactly make it obvious. You’re absolutely right that the original post doesn’t fall under that rule 4 either. And while I can’t say your sentiment on its content is unreasonable, removing the whole post, despite the constructive comments that were being left, doesn’t actually change the minds of the overwhelming number of users who left positive votes on both occasions.

You were instance banned under lemmy.ml’s rule 4, not the privacy community’s rule 4. ml’s rule 4 is “No Ads / Spamming”. This seems to have been prompted by you reposting a removed post, which frankly seems fair despite what I think of ml’s moderation normally.
Rule 4 does seem to be a bad reason to remove the original post, though I think it should’ve been removed simply for how cringe ‘cuckloading’ is as a term. Stop trying to link sexual deviancy to moral deficiency.

Just jumping in to boost this message, posting your own videos is advertising your channel, probably fine if one and done, but consistently I’d consider it advertising or spamming too.
This op is cringe either way. “This moderator’s account has been compromised! No other way to explain them enforcing the instance rule 4 after consistently spamming the communities with my videos!”… Jesus christ.

Thanks for the analysis but there is no indication that any video was posted more than once or that the creator is a Lemmy user.
