You'll see the Grok genocide story got posted five times... so they ended up getting one flag and four dups. People are trying, but oppression is easy on here, and the power to prevent a flagging is concentrated. People comment on flagging only to be ignored by the management, and repost those suppressed stories to no effect.
It's probably best to give up with the website and use an RSS reader. I also turn on hidden comments. The censorship can be mostly avoided.
