this is 100% going to end up damaging the platform
essentially you guys have stopped very little spam and just actually shadow banned your community
What do you think shadow banning is? And how do you know how little or how much spam was blocked by filters?
When I looked at feed I typically saw a few spammmers. Currently, I saw none. That's not a statistic, but it does feel a little less.
And shadow banning would be, if a commentor would see the comment, thinking everything is ok, but everyone else would not see the comment. Telling people that comments are held for moderation is the opposite of shadow banning.
yeah it actually hasn't gotten any better and is just fucking over the community for no reason
also im not here to argue the terms "shadow ban" with that other dude idgaf and that's completely irrelevant and he's wrong
I'm not banned but I mind as well be on other people's pages because the end result is the same.
