EDIT: Maybe a false alert after all, my thread is now visible to all. Still weird that it stayed “deleted” for hours though.
I believe Reddit is now automatically deleting threads about Lemmy (or containing links to Lemmy instances)? A thread I made on r/Save3rdPartyApps got deleted with no explanation within seconds of me creating it and I don’t believe it’s the sub’s mods who did that.
(However, I can see it while logged in. So it’s a kind of shadow-deletion)
Can anyone confirm whether referencing Lemmy and/or an instance gets your thread insta-removed?
I don’t know about this but Reddit is restoring comments of folk who go through deleting their shit.
Holy shit really?! That is seriously awful. Also isn’t this against the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)?
And gdpr. Waiting for someone reputable to write an article about it.
Damn. I more hope for someone to report it to authorities with evidence. Those GDPR fines can be brutal.
Reddit is taking a page from the Elon Musk book of opression and tyranny.
I’m able to see it
It’s empty on your screenshot.
Looks like I see it now
Cool, I see it now in incognito mode too. Weird that it took hours, or maybe a mod took action to solve this.
