They argue that if the comment you are signed up with is abusive, they won't make it public immediately - though they will after 48 hours, on the assumption you can "talk it through" with the person making the comment and they will change it in that time, because everybody is nice.
But they are the ones who get to decide what is abusive. So if, for example, somebody posts a message that seems to be effusive praise but is actually major trolling (e.g. posting a message about how strong X has been as they begin their transition to womanhood, to the account of somebody who happens to work for a fundamentalist Christian) these idiots would happily approve it straight away because it "says something nice about you".
