It's the same story with pretty much any platform. While you may know YouTube as the tool where AI/software randomly bans innocent channels and demonetizes videos based on false positives, it actually has a small army of human moderators. These poor folks are constantly exposed to some of the most vile content humankind produces >! ::: beheadings, rape, torture, child abuse::: !< etc.

I once worked on a project aiming to help their mental well-being, but honestly, while a step in the right direction, I don't think it made much difference.

Edit: attempting to nest multiple spoiler formatting
- >!beheadings, rape, torture, child abuse!<
  
  That's not how spoiler markup works here.
  
  It works this way instead.
  
  yo yo dirty stuff here
  
  Edited to add: Apparently there's not exactly consensus across different interfaces for what spoiler markup is supposed to be. Aaaargh!!
  
  Neither of those appear formatted as spoilers in Voyager (formerly WefWef).
  
  Edit: But, appears properly in Memmy.
  
  I'm also on Voyager; I don't think it has spoiler support.
  
  Update: a github issue exists.
  
  it seems like dev might not be focusing on that and he might actually need help in that.
  
  Yup also doesn't work on Mlem for me
  
  Your markup didn't work, either, lol
  
  Does for me, but I'm using jerboa.
  
  Also worked for me on Connect
  
  Oh interesting. I just used the spoiler button while paying via Sync.
  
  Hmm also in sync and nothing got spoiler censored
