I’ve reported content which blatantly goes against Twitter’s policies and the moderators chose not to remove it.

Twitter moderators allowed Taliban leaders to tweet all sorts of dangerous horrible stuff. But they permanently banned the democratically elected leader of the free world*

I think it’s clear at this point the moderator staff aren’t fit for purpose and a Scorched Earth approach is probably the only way to sort out Twitter

*Trump repeatedly tweeted calling for calm and discouraged violence by his supporters - in no way did he he incite the Capitol riots.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

25% of twitter's current employee base is still ~1,900 people... I don't see why this would be infeasible.

You think the top performing 25% are going to want to stick around when you fire 3/4 of their coworkers?

Would be worth sticking around since you don't need to keep the dead weight afloat any longer.
