If you 'vouch' or 'flag' things the mods don't approve of, it gets disabled on your account.
Confirmed in private conversation with dang [1], he restored it after I promised to behave, and now it stopped working again as I didn't properly toe the line.
Quite hypocritical to give power to the user with the tacit expectation that you share the same opinions and political bent as the moderation team.

This site is a fucking joke. It doesn't foster discussion, rather it fosters "allowed" discussion. Things that will make the Y-combinator folks more money because that is all they value. Tech is just a means to an end. And these notions of "site guidelines" seem to not apply at all to Elon's folks!
So, you know it pretty much like any right-wing-owned news site.
