Comment on I've been banned with the reason: "Spammer"

Yesterday I saw this article online: www.wired.com/story/red-note-tiktok-xiaohongshu/ which has the title “With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’”
But then the title of the post that was removed was this:
GET DIGITAL ACCESS Already a subscriber? Sign In Zeyi Yang Business Jan 13, 2025 3:03 PM With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’
The extra first bit does kinda read like spam or maybe a messed copy paste or something.

Aah, yeah when I copy and pasted the title this was there and I didn't realize only after I posted it. But then I changed the title and removed the bold part, did it not propagate to the other instances?

I checked on the Wired website and when I start marking the title all of that gets automatically marked and copied to copy and paste. I guess it's some javascript doing that at least in Firefox.
Ok that explains finally the reason, thanks for pointing that out.

I did indeed see “GET DIGITAL ACCESS” and hit the ban hammer immediately because it looked like spam. I will unban your account, and you are welcome to re-post the story (with the correct headline).

Ok, good to know, thanks for your understanding.
But that also sounds to me that my change of the title, which I did about 30 seconds after I posted the post, never made it from my PieFed instance to your Lemmy instance. This seems be a bug somewhere in one of the software, I will create a bug fot PieFed so it can be investigated.

BTW, some mobile apps (I use Voyager) can retrieve the title for you in the new post submission UI.
