I think there are a small number of regular posters who are under the mistaken impression they are speaking to a silent majority who read but don't post. That's why the aggressive hasbara deliberately gets ratched up to support a false narrative, whilst of course pretending to be on the receiving end of aggressive comments.
That's also why it is important not to engage with baiters whose sole purpose is to try to engineer cancelling -hence why there are such tantrums when ignored.
Hate speech also happens as the moderation is inconsistent. Surprisingly, in my experience, X/ twitter is better at deleting that propaganda nonsense whilst enabling free speech. It is also definitely an advantage to be able to block people - rather than have to look out for their names at the top of a post, refuse to read them and scroll on.
Fortunately most people are using their eyes and ears and can see through hate propaganda. Ultimately, this can only help bring peace to the civilians of Gaza.
I am also not a fan of hidden gratitude. Several of my post get many likes - I'd be happy for these to be public as it would also help shut down some nonsense - it is weird these are not public.
