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.

The comment was the first one I ever made with that account.

With that account. Can I read that as 'but I have others that have been banned for understandable reasons'? If so, you give me no indication why I shouldn't take my hunch to the grave.

Whether or not I agree with your take on decentralized social media is irrelevant. I believe that trolling on other platforms, or indeed this one, will not further the cause you have summarized.

uhh pretty sure you're trolling lol. Its the only google account i have rn, created specifically for when I'd really like to comment on a video. Before degoogling (i deleted my account), i posted like 3 comments tops in 5 years of usage.

You can stop worrying now if you think i have spammed, trolled, or used inappropiate language. You're acting like Google Support on a degoogle forum.
