I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes "[ Removed by Reddit ]" after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

They banned the RedditAlternatives sub a few days ago. If it wasn’t the case before, it is now. This situation must be rattling some cages at Reddit redgardless of what Spez said.

It's not banned now (for what that's worth)

Interesting, I wonder if they’ve decided that the negative publicity of appearing to censor alternative platforms wouldn’t be worth it.
