It's not exactly a big surprise. I suspect it is on a Mod level as we've both posted long lists of links to instances elsewhere and had no problems, so I doubt there is a not scanning for us.

Free speech is a threat to profit. Hence all the for profit platforms lacking it meaningfully.

Imagine using Reddit while talking about sourcing from non-US countries. It's a contradiction of itself

Reddit tries to shield itself by saying that Lemmy links are spam. In part I got here because I got curious on why they were so insistent on removing the links to an almost unknown place (that was my impression back in the day, now I don't know how it is perceived from outside).

I think it would be goot to promote the Go European firefox extension. It doesn't have reddit alternative in there yet, so that should be added, but it would be a way to get around the censorship.

Indeed, I posted about it earlier today: https://fedia.io/m/buyeuropean@feddit.uk/t/1864539/The-Go-European-extension-is-finally-on-Chrome-And-V1-5#comments

The dev told me he was going to join Lemmy in the coming days, let's see
