I assume we'll know final numbers once the dust settles, but that sounds not nearly as bad as assumed.

However, my personal experience of Twitter suggests that it remains an open air sewer, which tends to indicate that the content moderation team was already severely under-staffed. I suspect that it's even more true for non-English language.

So, even if only 15% of the content moderators have been laid off, this doesn't bode well for the future health of conversations on the platform.

Regardless, thanks for the sources!

update: Reading through the source once again, 15% of the T&S team was laid off but we don't have numbers for the number of content moderators who were laid off. I had assumed that content moderators were part of the T&S team, but that may not be true.
