Mentioning an app update isn't exactly a "call to action".

"Lemmy Now Supports [New Feature]! Come join us now!" that is what might get removed

This post from 6 days ago is very similar to the one about Discuit today "I like this alternative, I hope more people will try it out" : https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1hftcn1/i_am_happy_with_the_alternative/

Still up at this moment. I know Reddit mods have a very bad reputation, but I genuinely believe the ones on that community are not silencing Lemmy.

Mods aren't, admins are.

Admins are obviously gonna keep an eye on subreddits like r/Lemmy r/RedditAlternatives, and delete anything that is "too far out of line".

Oh yes, admins are a whole other bunch, but I mean, they are Reddit employees.

Still, this post calls out Reddit censorship, the most upvoted comment there still available is about Lemmy: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1hf84n6/redditors_are_waking_up_to_the_censorship_after_a/

I just found what was the body of the post that got removed: https://feddit.org/post/5876016/3775185

In this case it's probably a mix of directly calling out Spez, and calling out Reddit practices.
