MODERATORS
Yeah. They can't get Mastodon moderators to suppress negative publicity like they can on Reddit and other platforms.
They haven't left bluesky but they got backlash there too and have stopped being active for the past couple of weeks compared to on Twitter.
if they cant suppress on reddit, they will go to facebook, which give them ability to do alot more.
And considering a lot of people on the internet make comments without being fully informed, the backlash is probably huge.
Hate is spreading a lot quicker than the truth.
However, the original Twitter post and their doubling down are just stupid responses and they shouldn’t have made them.
