LRT: One of the problems with Twitter moderation - and I'm not suggesting this is an innocent cause that is accidentally enabling abuse, but rather that it's a feature, from their point of view - is that the reporting categories available for us do not match up to the rules.
Because the rule's existence creates the impression that we have protections we don't.
Meanwhile, people who aren't acting in good faith can, will, and DO game the automated aspects of the system to suppress and harm their targets.
A death threat is not supposed to be allowed on here even if it's a joke. That's Twitter's premise, not mine.
A guy going "Haha get raped." is part of the plan. It's normal.
His target replying "FUCK OFF" is not. It's radical.
Things that strike the moderator as "That's just how it is on this bitch of an earth." get a pass.
And then the ultra-modern ones like "Banned from Minecraft in real life."
