While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the fediverse. It's basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I'm just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse...

I tried commenting on Youtube to bring up the idea of the fediverse. However, my comments are not shown. Does anyone know how Youtube blocks comments?

I see your comment. I think Youtube hides them until they pass moderation. The creator could also have comments require their approval before being made public.

Yeah I see it now too, but this was like the 3rd attempt that got published

Also it's a way shittier version of what I tried to post but it was all gone and didn't want to write everything again...

I went through this recently.

They monitor you if you've been to certain videos and check your comment history. If they feel you're commenting too much towards a side (I'm guessing right wing), they delete your posts right away.

It could also be the video creator themselves, or the mods they hire to filter comments.

Key words also trigger their system and put you on their watch list.

I basically never comment on Youtube, so not sure about the first ones.

Key words also trigger their system and put you on their watch list.

But probably this... Maybe "federated" or "non-profit" is too spicy for Youtube haha
