The significant workforce reductions at X heavily impacted the Trust and Safety (T&S) teams responsible for content moderation. With a reduction in human moderation staff, the platform has become more reliant on automated systems. The layoffs changed manual reviews from a core part of the moderation process to a barely functional system reserved for rare exceptions. For the average user, the appeals process is now an automated loop that is difficult or impossible to escalate to a human. Consequently, it's now harder than ever to have a nuanced manual review and revert suspensions. Permissioned social media is a broken construct that'll always be susceptible to this BS. That's why we #Nostr #rawyakihonne

Yeah, it was actually more than that, I ended up deleting a bunch afterward. So embarrassing... TBH, I suspect that tweet was just one epic misstep from the "rope dancer" that finally pushed things into reportable territory. There's no shortage of potential reporters gunning for AilliA's account on twitter, like the scammers she's labelled as such on XmrBazaar. For example, this guy even advertised social media ban services: https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/not-your-keys-not-yours-period. And I labeled him as a scammer on bazaar ~ 1.5 months ago... well, at least it took them a while to get me... I've also heard whispers of other reasons ppl might want to hit back with revenge reports on twitter: AilliA isn't exactly a saint, as you know... ;)) So yeah, it turns out trying your best to be a "good human" online can rile people up even more than just being an outright asshole or scammer. Clearly a flawed survival strategy in the wild west of the internet :))
