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

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.

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

yeah I didn't even link any of them, just mentioned the joinfediverse.wiki if at all was enough to get it buried. I really dislike their transparency about what is allowed and what isn't.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

That would be recognized as a link

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean Lemmy dot world. Does that get filterered?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if that would get filtered out, but I assume it would since it has "lemmy" in the text.

What do they have against motorhead. They clearly don't like to gamble...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They really try to play with the dead man's hand.

@Drunemeton @DmMacniel Nope, as someone who upload gameplay videos can tell you, you need to verification yourself before they will allow to post links in description. So all links provided by Youtuber are because they are trustworthy or just gone through the verification process. I am lazy to do and my country is not supported for monetization so no deal for me to go through = no outside links in description. You can try it for yourself.

How does one verify themselves? I have a Google account that I use and I just checked the settings in YouTube. No “verification” option was listed.

Many comments with links will get anyway without checking as a matter of precaution. In general, you just shouldn't post links even if you know they're safe.
