I cringe to even think of what passes for a Trust & Safety group over there now, and the kind of people they must have staffing it. They don’t have reasons for what they’re doing or even clear knowledge of what they’re doing. It’s a case of amateur jackass thinks he can run the forum better and just happens to have billions of disposable dollars allowing him to pretend he is. It seems almost inevitable given how many rich and powerful people are obsessed with Twitter that eventually one of them would want to just buy it and crown themselves admin as a power fantasy. That’s literally all that happened here.
