@matunos@mastodon.social I was confused how that happened too. What I’ve read elsewhere is that the bad-faith report claimed that “white men who run the world” was the antisemitic dog whistle. Which, wow, what a way to drop the moderation ball.

@robinshipton@writing.exchange @matunos@mastodon.social To me, it reads as a deliberately provocative tweet, deliberately going close to the line, constructing a hostile "us vs them" narrative, and written in a way that was designed to be easy to misunderstand. It shouldn't have been deleted, but it's easy to see why it was, and everyone getting angry about it being deleted is looking for an excuse to express anger they already feel.

@robinshipton@writing.exchange @matunos@mastodon.social The tweet was written using the format of an antisemitic trope, but plot-twist, it's not Jews, it's just white men.
