The post title is a bit misleading. Most people hear "App Store" and think of Apple/Google, but this is actually referring to the Slack App Directory.

I'm not going to flag it because I'm against censorship, but yes, this is an absolutely terrible title.

True. However, the same strategy - "Focus on alternate sources of lead generation" can be applied for applications on Android (and presumably other platforms) where 3rd-party app repositories and sideloading are supported.

Isn't flagging just to bring the post to a moderator's attention? (who can then decide what to do) At least that's how I've always understood it.

On the other hand, it eventually becomes frivolous to predict what/how people think. If it's an app store, it's any app store.

If many people flag a post or a comment, it disappears, pending moderator action. Which is a bit unfair if the wrong title was a honest mistake.
