I tried commenting on Youtube to bring up the idea of the fediverse. However, my comments are not shown. Does anyone know how Youtube blocks comments?
I see your comment. I think Youtube hides them until they pass moderation. The creator could also have comments require their approval before being made public.
Yeah I see it now too, but this was like the 3rd attempt that got published
Also it's a way shittier version of what I tried to post but it was all gone and didn't want to write everything again...
I went through this recently.
They monitor you if you've been to certain videos and check your comment history. If they feel you're commenting too much towards a side (I'm guessing right wing), they delete your posts right away.
It could also be the video creator themselves, or the mods they hire to filter comments.
Key words also trigger their system and put you on their watch list.
I basically never comment on Youtube, so not sure about the first ones.
But probably this... Maybe "federated" or "non-profit" is too spicy for Youtube haha
Lol, who knows, google is fucking weird as shit
