This topic was adjacent to the sugar and L-isomer comments. Which probably influenced my viewpoint: Yishan is saying that Twitter (and other social networks) moderate bad behavior, not bad content. They just strive for higher SNR. It is just that specific types of content seems to be disproportionately responsible for starting bad behavior in discussions; and thus get banned. Sounds rational and while potentially slightly unfair looks totally reasonable for a private company. But what I think is happening is that this specific moderation on social networks in general and Twitter in particular has pushed them along the R- (or L-) isomer path to an extent that a lot of content, however well presented and rationally argued, just cannot be digested. Not because it is objectively worse or leads into a nastier state, but simply because deep inside some structure is pointing in the wrong direction. Which, to me, is very bad. Once you reach this state of mental R- and L- incompatibility, no middle ground is possible and the outcome is decided by an outright war. Which is not fun and brings a lot of causalties. My 2c.
