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?

    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/reddit@lemmy.world/t/87586/-/comment/369201
