If you report a post or comment for breaking the rules then you need to be specific on which rule. I am not going to parse out what rule you think they broke. "Breaks Community Rules" doesn't cut it. Be specific, it's one of our strengths.

„Breaks community rules” is likely coming from Voyager users because the app presents it as a predefined option for report reason. People likely assume that it’s some kind of an integrated reporting flow. This issue was raised recently in Voyager community: https://lemmy.world/post/35221872
