> is just the weak version of flagging things so weak, in fact, as to be entirely different - the most relevant thing being that flagged comments are killed. Also, this is a very uncharitable take - It might be a tactic used when "you don’t have the majority opinion to actually make it happen" but that's not always the case, plus the mechanism of becoming the majority, comment wise, requires comments not to be killed i.e. it's possible it is the majority opinion, just unspoken b/c of aggressive downvoters. > It reads as bashing the other side and proactively claiming to be a victim if they dare to do the same to you but flagging isn't "bashing", that's the point.
