I noticed an increase in junk/spam posts. How is moderation carried out? Happy to assist if it is a manual thing.

    Very good. Its a challenging task for sure and I respect those who are carrying this out.

      There is an implication in my response and your reply that I have some agency in this.

      I have no more agency in this, than anyone else who presses "flag"

      But I do believe the underlying principle. Dang is very careful curating what we see. It's not slash-and-burn time.
