Big thanks to EVERYONE who made their voices heard. 🤩

^^^ PS - And as has always been the case - the report, mute, and block features are still also available via the dropdown menu on each post and user profile.

PSA - In order to squeeze ourselves into compliance with Google Play Stores new policies regarding moderation tools availability, we've added FLAG icons to EVERY SINGLE POST, and also EVERY USER PROFILE.

Below are screenshots reflecting that and also what you see as a user when you click a flag icon, and what we see process-wise at the backend.

We hope to have our app back in the Google Play Store expeditiously.
