you can't have an interesting conversations if it takes 3 or so powerusers to gag you

I see tons of interesting comments flagged/dead within minutes. there are rarely controversial, or low-quality, or rule-breaking

there are plenty of topics you are only allowed to express a pre-approved opinion about, and I can't even give you examples without getting muted

Speculation, Zuckerberg, Musk read new-sites like this, can't bear their egos to be deflated. I don't think that's necessarily realistic, but I would suspect someone like that, personally.
