omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes

I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website

I still see the comment on Spaduf’s profile, but it shows as deleted in the post

I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in

Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.

actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn’t seem to happen in r/fediverse

no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed

no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol

Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.

Is 500 upvotes that much on reddit?

On lemmy its huge, but on reddit i have seen posts with twice that in niche subreddits

For a comment it’s a lot yea, especially since the thread was still pretty new. It was the top comment in that thread by a large margin.
