Fediverse censorship in Youtube comments? (Rant..?) (lemmy.ml)

It's so toxic how Youtube will remove your comment on a video if you mention "Lemmy" or any other suggestion to descentralized alternatives to Technofeudalism. This has also happened to me on Reddit.

It's frustrating that they treat the fediverse like a trigger word, it drowns the possibility to guide people to new communities.

Edit: Best guess is the VPN server that I was using was blacklisted. It's weird to believe the word 'Lemmy' or 'Fediverse' is blacklisted as well, but I cant find other reasons.

I have the feeling YouTube removes my comments if I edit them shortly after creating them.

Also, it feels like they remove comments quickly if they are reported often. At least I have the feeling that if I post factual but unpopular comments, they are more likely to get removed after a short while.

Anyway, it makes sense they remove more than they used to as they had a big spam problem. Now it's better but them removing valid comments too quickly as collateral makes sense to me.
