while i can understand not wanting to comment on every case, it necessarily means that users start asking questions about why sarah kendzior cops a suspension but jesse singal does not. opaque and inconsistent moderation does not inspire trust, nor does it foster safety.
Our policy has been not to comment on individual accounts. You end up having to litigate every case in public, and we don’t have the capacity for infinite debates in public.
Then there’s also the consequences such as the increased litigation and bad actors gaming your systems.

Well it could be but know one—including the person in question, apparently—can know that. It’s curious.
False attribution. If a person is suspended it is because of their identity? Could it not be because of their content? I wrote about it here aaron.leaflet.pub/3m52nqqmk322v

The classic refrain is: constraint is the mother of creativity. Similarly, friction is the father of discovery.
It feels paradoxical when we're conditioned to obsess over efficiency. But the only perfect efficiency is doing nothing.
A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what it's built for.

Ignorance re: AI's limitations in creative workflows so often seems borne of the idea that creatives start with a perfect imagination of what's needed, and the process is in the way. Couldn't be more false.
The process is how you find what you need. Friction is the only way to heat the forge. 🧵

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Sure, man, ask away. We both know what the answer is going to be.
