Fediverse censorship in Youtube comments? (Rant..?) (lemmy.ml)

It's so toxic how Youtube will remove your comment on a video if you mention "Lemmy" or any other suggestion to descentralized alternatives to Technofeudalism. This has also happened to me on Reddit.

It's frustrating that they treat the fediverse like a trigger word, it drowns the possibility to guide people to new communities.

Edit: Best guess is the VPN server that I was using was blacklisted. It's weird to believe the word 'Lemmy' or 'Fediverse' is blacklisted as well, but I cant find other reasons.

you probably got shadowbanned, they considered it spam, or didn't like something else on the comment, the word itself is too generic, one could easily be talking about motorhead

From what I understand, shadowbanning means that the post is still up, but not getting any visibility until you specifically search for it. I'm complementing what the creator is criticizing, so it would be the algorithm who considers it spam, which is my main complaint.
