I hope Elon fires them all, turn Twitter into a shithole no advertiser would want to touch.
15 is effectively zero already for a site that large and active.
I'm terrible at mental arithmetic so here's a question for anybody reading this. What percentage of problematic tweets could those period look at in a 24 hour period? Keep in mind - they are doing shifts. If it's 8 hour shifts that's five people each shift.
My wild guess is they are checking 0.000001% of the tweets in question. Should there be more zeros? Anyway - it's just a wild guess.
It's essentially like when FB had one content moderator for the whole of Africa.
They will inevitably only look at tweets that either get mass reported (read: people that have pissed off a 4chan brigade) or at complaints that come with credible legal threats from bluechecks.
a shithole no advertiser would want to touch
No such thing. You'll just get lower and lower quality ads with increasingly aggressive scam links. But in the end, I predict Twitter's problem will be the sheer volume of ad-shit in the interface, not an absence of it.
Banner ads inside the popup ads on sponsored content masquerading as legit tweets :thonk:
It'll be fun to watch the whole libertarian/deregulation myth crash and burn and debunk the concept utterly for all to see.
It'll be decidedly less fun to watch how, despite that, nothing changes :doomer:
Already happening.
Conservative and authoritarian accounts are rising in followers.
Progressive and socialist accounts are losing followers.
Look like Digg 2.0. First a slow exodus and then once another platform is settled on, everyone with a soul or brains leaves.
On the plus side, we may get to watch Musk's business empire fail!

It'll never happen. The collapse will be retconned as a consequence of Big Government Regulation crushing the smol bean Muskovites and Woke Capital (ie, communism) defunding Elon's attempt to speak truth to power. The solution will always and forever be to double down.
Libertarianism cannot fail. It can only be failed. If our modern day Reardon is forced to flee to Galt's Gulch with his miraculous toybox of inventions because his effort to hyper-monetize Twitter blew up in his face, the only explanation can be that he was denied the ability / failed to truly embrace the unlimited genius of Real Libertarianism properly. And the only solution will be to make a guy even more pure than Elon Musk our next President.
Hey, Fed watching this thread. We had nothing to do with the pumpkin you carved getting "defaced". That was done by your daughter because she hates you. Really. Ask her.
15 is not enough people to monitor my personal Twitter feed
Yet they still won’t deal with my appeal to be unbanned for bullying dinesh D’Souza
All they are employed to do is search for mentions of Boss Musk with various swear words and insults and ban those responsible. Hate speech, conspiracy fuckery, targeted harrassment - forget about it - that's just healthy debate in the knock-off sportswear in a suitcase of ideas.
It differs by comm, because we have comm-specific mods, but for comparison, /c/chapotraphouse, where we are right now, has 15 (8 sitemods + 7commmods).
