The stock popped 10%. Is this a vote of confidence against him or for whoever has been waiting in the wings? There has been enough agitation against him by the activists that this can’t be a surprise.
Twitter is extremely toxic and divisive, and Dorsey is... the same. People are hoping his removal will allow the platform to mature.
Happy to see a CTO promoted to CEO, hopefully a signal that Twitter is still committed to growing/incubating the engineering side of the business.
I agree, but is Twitter really suffering with any engineering problems? I generally would like to see a CTO come in charge but here's a unique case where someone from product might be more suitable.
see /r/twitter for a summary of issues people see on a day to day basis.

HN is heavily moderated, which is interesting given how often it is used as a platform to decry censorship.
Can you provide specific examples please? It would seem that it moderates trolling content, self promotional or bot level garbage.

Sorry but cynically toxic and divisive algos drives more attention thus more ad revenue (see FB), it's not going to get better with a more investor friendly CEO
I think twitter moderation has been so overtly one sided that there is plenty of profit to be made by warming up to the other side.
It will be interesting to see how Twitter changes as a result. Twitter with selective following and setting your timeline to 'time order' creates a pretty good environment for me. It feels like the equivalent of living in only a few chosen 'subreddits' rather than getting the full frontal reddit experience.
