It’s frustrating to me how broken the (automated?) moderation system is on Facebook (though for all I know every other social media is as bad, Facebook just gives more transparency as to what happens after a report).

You see tons of messages of just random new accounts, posting to strangers commenting on like a meme post, saying “I love your posts, I’d like to get to know you better, dm me on telegram…” or “I have earned $123,456 in 4 days thanks to the crypto genius Steve Bob [link to other fake profile]” - reporting them usually results in a “we didn’t take down the content” result. Any human knows this is pure fraud.
