Post in r/Reddit alternative about r/Lemmy being banned

From that thread:

The sub creator got suspended. Checked the Wayback Machine on their profile reveals they are very vocal about certain political issues in Lebanon (in April 2025, last archive). There is a very high chance of something related to that.
Possibly not related to the fact that /r/Lemmy dealt with Lemmy.
EDIT: Someone in that thread also mentioned that /r/lemmy2 was created in response, so it'll be interesting to see what happens there. If it stays up, probably unrelated to the subreddit being about Lemmy.
I don’t think Reddit views Lemmy as a threat big enough to ban it. They’d probably shadow ban first. Or tweak the algorithm to limit views.
Yeah, seems almost too blunt of a method.
Interested in knowing what they posted. I feel like I was the only Lebanese regular on Lemmy/Piefed, or at least the only vocal one, until a few months ago.
