So apparently youtube, or its comment system, is against the fediverse (feddit.de)

55 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

YouTube comments have always been a veiled lie. There's some sort of algorithm at work not to mention the dislike button on comments just doesn't work. I wouldn't put too much thought behind it, if anything I'd say discussing it on Reddit/Twitter is a better way to get heard.

True other media would be better to get heard, but when youtube users geniuenly asks about alternatives, why not try to provide them.

You do as you see fit, I'm just saying there's probably a better use of your time.

You are probably right with that :)
