Why would it get deleted? Does /r/50501 have a history on that like /r/technology does? I don't really expect the mods of an anti-Trump protest sub to be sucking Spez's dick. And Reddit doesn't remove Lemmy mentions itself, it's all the doing of overzealous mods.

Sounds like a torrent

Because it is torrenting. I clicked on the "More information" link in the popup and:

PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server. The main threat to your privacy induced by BitTorrent lies in your IP address being stored in the instance's BitTorrent tracker as long as you download or watch the video.

No idea about copyright though, but I also don't quite understand the issue there that doesn't apply to ActivityPub itself too.

Well, it's different meanings of "posting to your profile". I get it you're using the technical/backend/AP meaning of the post being posted to the user's account and then the community just announces it iirc. At least that's how it works on Lemmy, never looked into how Mbin does this exactly, iirc there's differences to how Lemmy and Mbin communities look from Mastodon.

But in this thread's context, it means that you make a post, and it's only visible on your profile, nowhere else. Not in any magazine. New Reddit has this feature, where you can choose to make a post to /u/username instead of any specific subreddit, and then the post is only visible on your user page.

It's unclear what exact meaning the person I replied to meant, but it's definitely not the technical one, considering their wording. So with "Mbin doesn't actually support posting things to your profile yet" I meant it in the context established by OP.

Mbin doesn't actually support posting things to your profile yet. Microblog posts still need to be posted to a particular community. They do plan to stop with that eventually and allow you to post outside of communities (recently mentioned on their Matrix), but that's not a thing yet.

Oh right, I didn't realize shreddit is an actual thing. It's what I call sh.reddit.com, yeah.

By mods, not by Reddit. Otherwise /r/redditalternatives wouldn't be filled with Lemmy mentions.

Reddit didn't remove it, the moderators did. On Shreddit, there's a note:

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/YouShouldKnow.

It's still available on your profile, I can still see it there. So clearly Reddit didn't do shit.

Edit: While I'm looking at shreddit, looking at the rules in the sidebar, I think it was removed due to rule 3:

YSKs regarding Reddit, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media are NOT ALLOWED.

You should always look at a community's rules first before posting, imo this removal is justified.

Some communities I'm interested in aren't on the fediverse, or I get more out of following it on both sites, or I like their custom CSS faaaaaar more than the Mbin design.

They are changing this as part of getting rid of PMs:

• Old Reddit will receive small UI updates to allow users to access all information previously provided via PMs
• New button to access the notifications inbox, which will badge if notifications are received
• Chat button will badge if new chats are received
• The PM UI on Old Reddit will be discontinued within the same timeframe from other platforms once the migration has been completed.

I personally disabled voting. Can't get banned for upvoting "violence" if I don't upvote anything in the first place.

No one gets banned from Reddit for promoting Lemmy, it's just some subreddits (like /r/technology) which are overzealous. But not the site as a whole.

The link seems broken somehow on kbin.earth (don't know if Mbin in general), so for anyone having the same issue, here's the actual link taken from Lemmy.

Also for context for Lemmy users reading this, this is the link I see: https://old.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1jf1dy5/https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/1jf1bxy/private_messages_will_be_replaced_with_reddit//

It's a lot better nowadays than Google, so I do, yeah.

The website doesn't work for me, the request times out.

Another interesting discovery: Compare the two links for each of the accounts marked with (*). You will notice that the posts on moist.catsweat.com link to YouTube, but when viewing the posts from lemmy.world those same posts link to the blogspot. Why is that?

Yeah, I think this is the real problem. It's Youtube on the home instance, it's not marked as edited (and even if it was, url changes are federated to Lemmy), and it federates as Youtube only (checked the AP response).
Where is Lemmy getting the blogspot from in the first place?

For context for the people downvoting this: Lemmy doesn't have karma, but Mbin does and it shows karma for Lemmy accounts too.

I've tried that many different types of unicode formatting and still had posts removed.

Because mods aren't stupid, they can see the unicode. Only automod is tricked by that, and they're not the only mod actually looking at the subreddit they moderate. Any human reviewer can see through this.

An instance being blocked by all other instances?

No, defederating is just a single instance blocking another instance, not the entire fediverse doing so.

Reddit has access to your edit history, it only works for as long as they don't see a need to restore it. And it probably doesn't work at all in regards to preventing ai training.
