Overheard a guy at the coffee shop say his gardening group chat got shut down for talking about seed saving laws.

He was telling his friend they just moved the chat to a different app and kept going. It made me think about how many small, specific groups get hit for stuff that seems harmless. What's the weirdest rule you've seen used to shut down a talk?

Used to think it was all overblown until I saw stuff like this.

I used to think those rules were just for big, bad stuff. But hearing about a gardening chat getting shut down really changed my mind. It's all so small and silly.

Honestly, the weirdest one I saw was a book club getting flagged for "organizing." They were just scheduling the next meeting. It's like the algorithm just sees people planning anything and panics. Makes you wonder what they think we're all plotting.
