- belorn 11mo agoPeople will flag articles when they don't feel safe to participate in the discussion, especially if they hold views that appears to be dissenting. An open and thriving environment for discussion is one that welcomes people of different views and opinions. A strong indicator of an article that get flagged, and which also trigger the flame war detection on the site, is a bunch of comments that are either grayed out or flagged.

I think it's way more likely they're censoring topics because the posts that get flagged are usually criticism about AI, MAGA, or Zionism.
