        As a mod, I usually have some restraint regarding bans, but blatant violations such as CP or spam are basically just down to awareness and reaction.

        I mod a few popular communities, and I haven’t seen CP yet. It’s mostly the occasional spam and people who are still incapable of self regulating.

      People who wanted to ‘detox’ from the chans used to do it, and if it works there it works anywhere! Well, besides certain governmental and clerical group chats, I guess. 🙃

      This is the correct answer. Larger platforms will have some kind of automatic spam filter which autobans accounts that spampost e.g. random links. Any kind of content-related ban often takes slightly longer, because you have to hit the right keywords and a human may have to rubber-stamp it.

    If we’re taking .ml, just be honest about communism, provide proof, and within moments one of the coward admins will appear and ban you for life.

      Not really related, but I did a complete 180 on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Back in the early months of the conflict I posted a comment here suggesting that bombing in Gaza was targeting Hamas strategic targets and there was evidence of “roof knocking” to warn innocent occupants of an incoming attack. I didn’t realize how naive I was at the time parroting propaganda. If people hadn’t continued posting evidence of the IDF and their genocide/war crimes I wouldn’t have known any better.
