Yes, de facto, it's flag stuff you don't like and/or otherwise do not want gaining attention.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoIt just seems like there should be some means to not let whomever wants to remove content for any reason they feel like. I have sometimes seen "vouch" options but I guess maybe those permissions got removed. Because I ragged on the UK's fascist internet surveillance bill as horseshit, I think? So now I am unable to help others keep their voice. The systems here are undocumented & opaque & it sucks & is sad that hackers are subject to such unclear whims with no transparency & no way to negotiate for speech, of themselves or others. Edit: I still have vouch options on some flagged posts.
