Certainly getting a lot of ads on saidit today. I just banned over 20 ad accounts activated today. That always happens when one of the highly-active shills has their accounts banned, I've noticed.

If I come across obvious spam here, I report it. I hope that makes it easier. On reddit, I used to do that, but one time I reported something that was CSAM, and - no joke, the admins banned me from the site for 3 days for abusing the report feature. The stuff I reported was still removed, though. That site is like 90% spam now, so it's really no use. It's an ocean of piss.

More ads than a porn site or pirate site. Watching reddit die in real time.
