Prior to posting here, I had tried to post the same item in the Xiaomi subreddit on Reddit.
My posting was removed instantaneously. I mean so fast that it could not have been done by a human.
I was presented with the follwing message:
*Sorry u/dromani, your post has been automatically removed.
Your account is brand new or has low karma, and our subreddit experiences a lot of spam from new accounts or help vampires which think we're an Official support outlet for Xiaomi (which we're not). As such, we remove submissions from these accounts to prevent it.

Reddit is discontinuing its blockchain-based Community Points system, affecting tokens like MOON, BRICK, and DONUT used in specific subreddits for tipping and premium features.

Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.

An era of the internet is ending, and we’re watching it happen practically in real time. Twitter has been on a steep and seemingly inexorable decline for, well, years, but especially since Elon Musk bought the company last fall and made a mess of the place. Reddit has spent the last couple of months self-immolating in similar ways, alienating its developers and users and hoping it can survive by sticking its head in the sand until the battle’s over. (I thought for a while that Reddit would eventually be the last good place left, but… nope.) TikTok remains ascendent — and looks ever more likely to be banned in some meaningful way. Instagram has turned into an entertainment platform; nobody’s on Facebook anymore....
