The internal revolt at Twitter was pretty well observed. /u/Spez has managed to keep this one pretty out of public view. I'd be very curious to know just how aligned staff and leadership are on this current course of action.

This is pure gold. XD
The whole internal structure of the company is a raging dumpster fire.
Like they grew to corporate size but are still in "pull random shit out of our asses" startup mode. They're probably still trying to run it like it's just a couple of college dudes. That's the vibe I get anyway.
I would love to be a fly on the wall at reddit HQ. What they have been doing makes 0 sense so I would be interested to see what they think they are doing
My take is that they cranked up the enshittification because of an upcoming IPO but instead of continuing to slowly boil the frog, oops, they went too hard woke their golden goose, the user and mods. Now they're panicked and are trying strength instead of subtlety. They've still got their more apathetic users and addicted/committed mods, but they've shed people and that's just about rule number one for a social media company.
