And now bullying people who buy check marks is against the rules, but attacking everyone else is cool.

I did see that was debunked unless something has changed in the past few days (possibly).

Given how my reports for reporting harassment and everything aren't being dealt with, even if it was specifically debunked it's still happening. Their focus in content moderation just seems to be fluffing Elon's ego.

They're not being dealt with or they're being ignored, because even before his take over, they were being paid to do jack shit over at content moderation Twitter.

i’m always floored when i see comments like this because every time i’ve reported a tweet, it’s been deleted and the user sanctioned or suspended.
