Chad Loder
Senior members of Twitter's trust and safety team were aware of the list [of leftist accounts to mass report] and the false reporting campaign against Loder — which is a violation of Twitter's policies against platform manipulation — and had plans to address it.
However, key members of the team have now quit or were fired including executives Vijaya Gadde and Yoel Roth. https://www.businessinsider.com/left-wing-activists-banned-from-twitter-after-false-report-2022-11?r=US&IR=T

@chadloder do you know how they intended to address it?
Show threadChad LoderDec 1, 2022
@KimCrayton1 The way they typically have - by manually reviewing the mass reports against targeted accounts to give the reports an extra level of scrutiny

@chadloder I was also a victim of this. Damned annoying, to be targeted for being a liberal and a Democrat.

@chadloder That explains much. It does not explain @elonmusk lurking here (and snarking on occasion). But I suspect he wants to keep tabs on the competition - only he doesn't know the federated nature of the platform...

@chadloder it's amazing to me how quickly this has all happened. Meanwhile the rubes on the MAGA side are pointing to the fact that Twitter still runs as proof that none of the people let go or pushed out were needed... But the reality is no one is manning the watch anymore, and a top 10 worldwide communication platform is being controlled on the whims of a narcissistic megalomaniac, who himself is easily manipulated by anonymous trolls and bad faith actors.

@chadloder

When (assuming you can stand doing so) you look at the intro pages to such neo-Nazi social clubs as Parler and Gab, they all profess the same deep love of freedom of speech. Of course, they mean they love being able to frighten or intimidate whomever feel like.

Musk's claimed fondness for free speech is becoming very hard to distinguish from those other jerks'.

@chadloder My six year old Twitter account was permanently suspended today for "spam". It's laughable.The real reason is that I am a liberal.

@chadloder @Barbramon1 They got me on Thursday for the same reason. It’s beyond absurd.

@Mmerrikin It's ridiculous, but perhaps a blessing in disguise. Glad to see you here, Gram.☺️

@Barbramon1 Likewise. The funny thing is that they permanently suspended my account 3 days after I deleted all my tweets and deactivated my account.

@Mmerrikin Bizarre. No prior notice for me. I was never even in Twitter jail timeout, although many friends were. Am counting myself fortunate that I was not hacked or doxed. It's just not safe anymore.

@Barbramon1 I was pretty shocked to get that email from Twitter. I’m guessing either some group reported my account for no good reason shortly before I deleted it or I got caught up in that Musk purge of lefty accounts. I suppose I should consider it to be a badge of honor.

@Mmerrikin @Barbramon1 How bizarre. I was planning to go out with a bang of suspension, and was becoming horribly acerbic with larger supremacist accounts. But I decided to jump ship.

@schfinkes This past month found myself growing angry with the influx of trolls. I never used foul language, mostly didn't even engage. Suspect mass reporting.
As I said before it's probably a blessing in disguise. Good to see you here.

@chadloder So actually there has never been any moderation in the aviary, just simple locking people out of their accounts automatically, when there are many false reports against them.
