I agree that you can only judge success ex post facto. We’d all be millionaires if we correctly called shots and could bet perfectly on stocks, for example.
I think you highlight the problem in the middle of your blurb though:
> Now, for sure, some moves were really dumb mistakes, like suspending people for advertising their Mastodon profile
The “dumb mistakes” are happening at a vastly increased rate these days. The fact that you say you will do stupid things before doing them does not justify them and a drastic uptick in the rate they are made is concerning.
So while I’ll admit that there is a chance that most people are wrong and this situation will turn itself around, I’ve yet to see a sign that gives confidence in the new direction of the company.
