All reddit is compromised, why would they be any different?

Well it's different, per sub. I am/was mod of /r/GMECanada, and we can still say 'lemmy' there and direct-link with no issues.
The lemmy keyword ban is definitely a thing on r/Superstonk; if I recall correctly I even got a scolding for mentioning lemmy once on r/GMEJungle though as well.
That was all back in July. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit admins as a whole aren't starting to crack down on mention of external platform migration discussions, though...

Sorry, I was overly strident. I'm sorry also to hear the jungle is that way, it was often a stronghold of decency.
Reddit hasn't even completed IPO yet, so I do expect things to continue to worsen however. Why I'm mainly here instead.

Oh, no need to apologize to me :) I lost all enthusiasm for reddit around the July 1st timeframe with the API fiasco, and especially after the superstonk mods banned me for replacing my old comments (as a protest action) with a placeholder mentioning lemmy and encouraging users to try it out. IMHO my comments are my comments regardless of platform, so I assert I have a right to update them as I see fit, at any time. But the mods apparently did not agree.

Reddit on days ending in z: 🥶🍑
They really think they can monetize "people talking on the internet" to the point of becoming billionaires. I cannot allow them to be correct.

“Whynotdrs” is also censored. It’s what got me a Permaban from SS actually

Wow didn't know that.

I can personally attest that 'lemmy' is a banned keyword on reddit /r/Superstonk. Mods said so in my perma-ban message.
They're afraid Apes will escape their narrative-cage and start talking elsewhere. Might be merely mod power-tripping, might be mods with secret orders to suppress and contain/smother the entire movement.
I've taken to occasionally DMing apes on reddit in /r/Superstonk discussions when they talk about censorship letting them know lemmy is 'out there' waiting for them :P. I would encourage others here to do the same.

I’ve been doing this myself too actually. You’re a lengend!

Keep up the good work. That is most definitely needed.

Keep up the good work on DMing people. You can directly link or give the "broken" link to this Lemmy without a problem in DMs.

They have a thread about the sub being more cult-like but the author explicitely makes a point to say it's not the mods.
lmao
The mods banned anyone who doesn't think and speak specifically how they want. Of course it looks like a cult now.
