The more people see the engagement, the more chance of them asking “what is that?” It won’t be long until the apps are better, and links to articles could be less likely to get suppressed than migration memes.
I can only speak for myself, but I only saw Mastodon as viable after I started being exposed to the content there…
I have an automod that links to all the other places my sub is on. It’s getting mass reported everyday. I have to manually approve them all.
Yeah I end up having to report about 10 threads a day to reddit for report abuse spam because of this, they report it as hate speech when people talk about the blackout positively, trying to get people banned to silence them. The only way to prevent that is report each case of it to the admins so they know it’s a targeted attack. What these assholes are ACTUALLY doing is just making more work for the moderators that care if their members are banned over some dumb shit.
