Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You can get data to tell any story you want if you choose your own presentation. Sure, it might be up a lot, but that's only from the record low three months ago, and it's positively skyrocketed from 0.00066 USD to... a whopping 0.00097 USD. (And before anyone accuses me of Americentrism, it's followed the yuan and ruble similarly.) Compared to six months ago, it's down slightly, and compared to a year ago, it's down about 55%, still pretty bad.
