The Apollo dev banned and removed all my comments suggesting Lemmy as an alternative to reddit.

I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.
No self promotion is a very simple quality filter. Pretty much everyone is proud of something they made, but finding someone else that also is willing to promote it is much harder. By blocking self promotion they're setting a low bar that needs to be cleared where you have to find someone else to vouch for you. That said, once at least one other person has posted about it you should be allowed to post as well since you've effectively cleared that bar at that point.
