basically accusing Lemmy of being controlled by marketing PR teams

You accused me of being dramatic but then discredit what I said with an overly dramatic take like that.

That is not what I said.

Because people that are posting comments like yours aren’t adding anything

That also is not true. They do add their thoughts and observations which is what I thought these forums were suppose to be about. These are communities that should be for users. What I said I observed is suspicious because it happens only in places like r/marvel or other sub reddits that are heavily controlled by PR teams. Posts are made, people give their honest opinions, posts get deleted. I have been seeing it more and more.

These marketing teams are the reason all these social media sites fail. Lemmy is unique right now because lots of us learned from reddit. The issue isn’t posting a sale you like. The issue is censoring and hiding what the community really thinks and manipulating these spaces so its favorable to whatever marketing team pay the most.

You said other users have said similar. It tells me there might be something to pay attention to if people really want Lemmy to stay as honest and community focused as it is right now.
