Is /r/ethereum beginning to be censored just like /r/bitcoin when people started to point out the unsustainable fees? My post quoting Vitalik on raising the gas limit is not visible - is BCH the ONLY free and uncensored crypto now?

I'd hate to see Ethereum go down the drain just like BTC has, I like it and think it's a good companion to BCH but it's in the same situation BTC was in 2017 regarding fees and blocksize (gas limit). However it is different for ETH, they're actively working on scaling and are not censoring the discussion, or so I thought.

I've posted about Vitalik now being open for a gas limit raise since some DoS issues were resolved in the Berlin upgrade:

EIP 2929 makes a few opcodes cost more gas. This was done because those opcodes take a long time to process, so it's not safe to have blocks that use those opcodes too many times. Because now (after the Berlin hard fork, which includes EIP 2929) these opcodes cost more gas, it's no longer possible to have blocks that use that opcode as many times, and this makes the chain safer. A few applications become more expensive as a result, but other applications become cheaper. Also, now that the chain is safer, we can increase the gas limit, which makes every application cheaper.

However my post is not visible in the New section or on Ethereum subreddit when I browse it, it has not gotten even one vote whether up or down which is impossible considering how hot the fee issue is and I quote Vitalik himself on raising the gas limit.

Then it occurred to me that the gas limit increase is conspicuously missing from the discussion in any serious sense. All talk is about L2 solutions which are months or years away (18 monthsTM anyone?).

Is the history repeating itself? If my post was indeed censored then that's a canary in the coal mine and ETH is being attacked by the same modus operandi as BTC was, so far quite successfully as its market share is already being eroded by centralized pseudo-crypto coins like BNB, ADA etc. and is essentially unusable for 99% of people, just like BTC.

We should help our ETH friends and expose this attempt, or at least learn from it when it's inevitably tried again against BCH.
