It's already breaking down. HW/SW aside, a lot of the services had teams monitoring them, which don't exist anymore.

Some of the side effects of that:

- Trends are not working correctly.

- Copyright reporting is not working.

- Appealing flagged tweets isn't being responded to.

It's only a matter of time before these get abused with no one to fix them.



>- Trends are not working correctly.

"Trends" were subject to Twitter's "trends blacklist" before; something that leaked a few years ago. Maybe they're working correctly now that they're unencumbered. Can you describe how they're not working now?

>- Appealing flagged tweets isn't being responded to.

Mine was responded to in a handful of hours. Much faster than I was expecting.

The team would moderate junk trends. So some of the trends are literally just random words being spouted. Similar to early day twitter.

> Mine was responded to in a handful of hours.

Recently? That's impressive when the related teams are gone.

I am not sure what a YT video about Trump has to do with my comment.
