This is excellent and illuminating in a very purposeful way. Love it. But now I feel like I need to go back and read all of your tweets to figure out which classic arguments you were re-enacting.

Beautifully expressed as usual. Though I wonder if we are missing a piece. The major users are also directly moderating through banning. A free for all would kill twitter, but if major thread leaders are culling the problems within threads, will that be enough?

And how annoying will they find it to be the defacto monitor.

Not sure, but between the other monetization changes being talked about and firing a bunch of the SRE team... meh. It doesn't look great.

Well said, thanks for sharing.

The setup seems fated to fail.

Perhaps Overworked Engineers are likely well-suited to be Superior Social Network Shamen,

But the apparent tendency to trivialize the details of the medicine book

Suggests more dark art experimentation happens before any good light shines through....

Keep your lantern lit....

Cheers
