Platforms aren’t pointing to specific things that generate a ban, so the pattern appears to be “things the community team doesn’t like.” With no explanations goalposts can continually move. I literally don’t want to dig into this bc of current climate.

Why do you get to decide what kinds of "toxic conspiracy theories" people consume? What about minimum wage? I think that's a toxic conspiracy theory, rooted in racism and almost laboratory designed to harm the poor. Why can't I decide to prevent free ppl from hearing about it?
