I usually don’t get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I’m on their side.
minus-square@Kata1ystlink22•11 months agoThey probably have a blanket ban on promoting competing Reddit clients, and didn’t bother to figure out what Lemmy was.
minus-squareDessalinesOPAlink17•11 months agoPerhaps, although I was pretty clear in that thread that lemmy is a reddit replacement, not an apollo one.
minus-square@Piscklink12•11 months agoExactly. There’s a note that says “Self-promo – Lemmy” right in the posted screen cap.
minus-squareJoshualinkfedilink4•11 months agoEven so, that’s lame behaviour. I understand deleting comments if they are promoting their app nonstop, but to silence people you think are just mentioning an alternative app is crazy.

Which is (technically) true.
