Rather than rely on upvotes to organically populate the front pages with content users are interested in, there are a number of users censoring the site by flagging content they personally don't want to see. Lots of political stuff gets censored in minutes, and absolutely everything critical of Elon Musk. Nothing about Musk in particular lasted on the front page from this last weekend, despite the high profile actions. Lots of 'don't make me tap the sign' comments pointing to the guidelines, but flagging is just going to be weaponized like this unless its use is better defined and enforced somehow. Even the discussion on the bot-like flaggings got flagged. And it is all counter productive, because if users want to discuss a topic they are going to end up doing it in inappropriate places when the appropriate places have been taken down. Like we are here.
