Hit 500 flagged posts on my blog last Tuesday and it finally clicked

I always thought reaching a big number like 500 would make me feel validated but instead it just made me realize how many voices are being silenced in plain sight. Each one was a real person with a genuine opinion just getting nuked by some algorithm. Has anyone else hit a milestone that changed your view on this stuff?

500 flagged posts is a lot to sit with, especially when you realize each one is a real person getting shut down. What kind of topics were getting flagged the most on your end? Did you notice a pattern in which opinions got the boot compared to others?

@margaretw41 the big surprise was personal finance advice getting flagged way more than political stuff.
