I never understand these resignations. If you believe you did nothing wrong, why resign? If you believe you did something wrong, why didn't you do the right thing to begin with?

> I never understand these resignations. If you believe you did nothing wrong, why resign? You quit a job because its not a job that, on balance, you want anymore. Like, have you never quit a job other than because you felt you had committed some kind of wrongdoing?

  I've never quit an executive-level job other than because I felt I had committed some kind of wrongdoing.

    I quit as co-founder after 7 years (we were at peak earnings) because I was ready for a change, and I'm guessing that happens a lot. No wrongdoing. Money isn't everything in life.

I don't know the specifics of this case, but if my job ever accused me of something I denied doing without some really strong evidence... I'd leave. I need to be able to trust my workplace, and saying "whoops our bad" wouldn't cut it.

> If you believe you did nothing wrong, why resign? Um... they sort if did do something wrong and have taken drastic measures to try to correct it. But like any other content moderation system, what they did wasn't perfect, and they're still under fire for the wrong things they are continuing to do.
