So if I go off about how awful the Jews and the gays are, is that a "diverse viewpoint"?

Diverse in this context means the different people on the council will have very different viewpoints from each other.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
A bunch of accounts like The Babylon Bee and Ye have been unbanned w/o input from any such committee of diverse viewpoints. I don't have much faith that Musk will not act unilaterally in service of his friends and allies.
According to sources he was unbanned before Musk got there
What sources?

#45It would be amazing if a council with diverse viewpoints could even sit together without killing each other in this day and age. Does this exist anywhere?
Surprisingly enough, the need for such things has been perceived and addressed before. A recent method that's widely used for organizing such things is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%27s_Rules_of_Order

#46This sort of justifies the viewpoint that despite all his bluster, Elon will probably run Twitter the way a "reasonable executive" would. Not just release the hounds. Keep the advertisers happy, but try to reduce the reliance on advertisers. Keep moderating content to reduce abuse, maybe eliminate the high profile banning but a person on the ground will have largely the same experience. (probably less action on more…

Were they? I know I can see their pages, but I don't see any new content from them. realdonaldtrump is still suspended, I imagine we'll just have to wait to see what happens.

In the real world, sure. The Internet would have us believe that civil war is imminent. We need to stop letting the 1% of people who bother to post online drive our national dialog. We have put the crazies in charge of the asylum.

Can you point at one? A council with "widely diverse viewpoints" that is actually an effective, tie-braking decision maker?

He already tweeted something groveling to the importance of advertisers asking them to not leave yet.

It will be, if Elon implements effective agent-based clustering, such as with K-Means Clustering.
"Solving" content moderation is a losing battle -- there is no way to humanly moderate anything at the rate it can be produced, and Elon knows this. It's insane, so he probably won't do it.
But, allowing content to be produced, but making sure no real person ever sees it, until the content producer earns their way into "your" group -- now that can be automated. Also, then the police and FBI could use all the evil content to "do their job" (but, I'm not holding my breath).
Elon has access to Exascale hardware, so K-means Clusters with arbitrarily large dimensionality is at his disposal. The algorithms are linear in complexity, so should be parallelizable.
I figure he might have thought this through...

It's either going to be a double standard or not. I moderated a busy gaming site for years. Users have nothing to do but re-post what got someone else banned and then complain things aren't consistent.
I would find the idea that a politician gets to say things, but I don't completely absurd.
