@lemmy.mlReddit seems to really have shifted over the decades to promote throwaway accounts with no lasting identity. You regularly see users casually mention that their previous account was banned and they were using a new account.
The culture where people even black out the account name of Twitter postings when sharing a Tweet screenshot also seemed ridiculous. Like the assumption that every posting was a witchhunt when someone was just sharing an amusing Tweet. With TikTok it was even more absurd, you could see the video of a human person - but not share their TikTok account names.
It left a situation where Rich and Famous people would have their names left in Twitter screen shots, but everyday netizens had theirs blacked out. What are they thinking over there? "Stand up for the Big Guy"?

Everytime I post a link to lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml (with no url shortener); the posts get removed. I can't tell if reddit is blocking *.ml domains in general; or specifically Lemmy domains.

Although I received no notification of banishment or over what in particular (probably due to eugenics hesitancy...) it seems as though I cannot log in nor view any posts anymore. This just happened within the last hour. Using a privacy mode I could view posts again, until attempting to log in that way and then the fake-impossibility thing began again. Anyone else have a similar problem, with probably being banned for wrongthink in this manner now?

For the record, u/scuczu censored this rule-abiding post:
Betterment forces Tor users to solve an (often broken) Google CAPTCHA. After looking further, it's evident that Betterment also forces all web traffic through CloudFlare. That's a very bad idea. Financial data is sensitive and should not be shared with CloudFlare. Is there an offline way to open a Betterment account?"
This is why people should abandon Reddit in favor of Lemmy. This post exposes the rampant Reddit censorship problem. The following posts are an example of civil on topic rule-conforming posts that were censored in r/enviroaction without cause.
In response to this post, I wrote the following (which was censored):
So just a note, all cotton is organic: C6H5O9
Either you're attempting equivocation, or perhaps you're unaware of sustainable cotton which has taken the name "organic cotton". ("at present, approximately 0.51% of global cotton production is organic.")
But thanks for mentioning Amazon's packaging waste.. I overlooked that.
In response to this post, I wrote the following (which was censored):
I was actually half tempted to criticize Amazon for using FedEx.
FedEx is an NRA-supporting ALEC member, so using FedEx supports climate denial (among other evils). FedEx also ships shark fins, hunting trophies, and slave dolphins. So the toll on the environment by FedEx is quite extensive (while they advertise with claims to have a low carbon footprint to capture business from uninformed but pro-environment consumers).
UPS is also an ALEC member but not as harmful as FedEx.
USPS is slightly evil for blocking Tor. But in the big scheme of things any alternative to FedEx and UPS at least avoids the worst of them.
Can anyone cite a legitimate reason to censor these posts under r/enviroaction rules?
