This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain’t that some shit?

Edit - I’ve been informed in the comments that the mod message may have been misleading and my post might have actually been removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

    I know we’re angry at reddit… but no, this is not illegal anti-competitive action.

    Mods can remove anything they want from their subs, it’s not illegal lol.

      As explained by a user above, this action was taken by Reddit admins, not the moderators of the involved subreddit. That makes it a regulatory violation. Reddit admins are removing content from their platform that promotes alternatives to Reddit across all subreddits, often disguising their actions through subreddit mod team accounts. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/87586/-/comment/369201
