This will get flagged fast. The more innocuous reason is because they are "boring" and just rehashing the same stuff or something that was on Joe Rogan doesn't meet the standard of what should be on the site, same as if it was "Eminem buys an NFT" which was also flagged today
I do feel like recently this site has become more intolerant of any sort of dissent from mainstream views though. Or at least asymmetrical: the same "boring" covid cheerleader posts are allowed to stand while anything saying we've gone too far is flagged. I think we'd be better off talking about it less overall.
