tl;dr: Twitter doesn't give a flying f..k about their users.

Users: Twitter, ban the Nazis please, and let us edit tweets.

Twitter: Here, we take the stars and replace them with hearts.

Users: Twitter, please ban the Nazis, and let us edit tweets.

Twitter: Here's a totally messed up "redesign" filled with bugs that is mandatory except if you pretend to be an older browser (hint: extension GoodTwitter does that).

Users: Seriously, just please ban the Nazis and give us an edit option

Twitter: Hey, we're introducing AI to penalize sex workers, and giving the Nazis a tool to report tweets that has no real recourse for you, and if you appeal a ban you can't do anything, not even DM, for weeks until we may or may not look at the "offending" tweet because we are understaffed and our moderation slaves only speak your language roughly and don't get cultural context!

Usrrs: ... WTF man

Twitter: Hey, we're rolling out a feature we saw on Snapchat first and then was copied by Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instagram and it mostly utterly sucks there!

Seriously, how utterly detached is their product development team from the user base? And when are they finally going to offer a real API again?
