I mentioned yesterday that a Lemmy dev was busy plugging Lemmy in the Apollo thread about :reddit-logo:'s API pricing. The reddit admins r/apolloapp mods went and deleted 118 of their 120 comments:
As you can see on Lemmy dev parentis_shotgun’s profile, they were very active plugging Lemmy and answering questions in the Apolo dev’s thread about Reddit’s API pricing, with 120 total comments made in that post.
They were well-received, with 3 of their comments getting over 400 upvotes. However,
reddit adminsr/apolloapp mods must have noticed that reddit is bleeding users to Lemmy, because all but 2 of parentis_shotgun’s 120 comments (one about Beehaw and one about Microsoft) in that thread are removed.
:reddit-logo: knows its days are numbered, their IPO later this year will fall flat on its face
Edit: Someone @ImOnADiet on Lemmygrad says it was just r/apolloapp mods
Edit 2: @dessalines posted about it
