    It must mean it’s making a difference, to the point where someone is trying to censor it.

      Reddit has the real numbers about human active users.

      At this point they must notice a drop due to all the automated bans, and must fear thar people will notice too and look for an alternative

        Linking to another Reddit post or comment is a single point of failure. Link to an external site/blog, and maybe use url shorteners if direct links get auto-modded. Linking to Lemmy directly will probably get auto-modded too.

        Remember, Reddit is a part of the fascist propaganda machine, so don’t expect too much.

          I am well aware, but the Reddit posts had a lot of upvotes and positive comments, so it appeared more trustful to Reddit users potentially interested in joining Lemmy.

          If you have a blog, feel free to host that post over there, I would then link to it.

    • I can’t help but hope that if someone writes about this removal on their substack or something, that article can then be posted on reddit. The conversation in the reddit thread would then be about reddit banning discussion of platforms that apparently threaten theirs, which should be even harder for them to justify banning the meta discussion of that fact. It would be nice if this little removal ended up having something of a Streisand Effect on reddit, exposing more people to the existence of Lemmy than the post they removed had been.

        Do note that Substack is US-based and has fash owners.

        They would probably just remove that other Reddit thread as well.

        Could be worth a try though, would be interested in writing about this?
