After the first month with safe moderated free, what the follow-through looked like was uneven depending on the hour.
If you take one thing from this thread on safe moderated free: check when the account was last active.
The question underneath all of this is how the moderation behaves outside business hours, at least with safe moderated free.
Where safe moderated free either works or falls apart is how the free experience compares after a week.
Four things I wish someone had told me about safe moderated free:
- What the follow-through looked like after a month of steady use of safe moderated free was worse than the reviews suggest
- The failure mode with safe moderated free is when you assume every profile is current
- On safe moderated free, what actually happened was noticeably thinner than in a big city compared with the alternatives
- Write a bio that says something checkable — it is the one habit that moved safe moderated free for me
