The people leaving Twitter want: 1. Both high quality and high quantity posts instantly available 2. Reasonable API access, maybe not directly but they want their niche workflows to be supported 3. Clear and consistent moderation. Eliminate

Same here. Even the subreddits that are still open, I'd feel dirty reading.

This is a problem with law enforcement as a whole. I really think the US needs to completely rethink what "police" are.
