Over the time new youtube videos crop up talking about reddit, twitch and twitter issues. And in those comment sections I always like to spread the word of alternatives (like the fediverse). But whenever I do, those comments get quietly removed even though they seem to be posted in the first place.

Whenever I try to add further details, for example name dropping lemmy/bin pixelfeed peertube and mastodon, to previously posted comments those error out and gets deleted entirely.

Anyone else made that observation?

    I tried commenting on two videos yesterday and included links to topic-related websites, and they were deleted.

    I checked the TOS and they caution about including inappropriate links in replies, but those weren’t that.

    I seems the channel can include links but users can’t. Haven’t tested it much past that point either.
