This would be better if there was more moral/ethical depth. It also doesn't explore how content moderation policies shape discourse and how moderators often times abuse such policies to manipulate posts that fit their ideology.

Does Twitters community notes kind of fix moderation or could that also be manipulated?
Kind of both. Community notes and moderation are both emotional humans making the best decisions they can.

There is no “fix”. There’s no magic. It’s just us in here.

Notes usually go too far in the other direction, for instance you will rarely see notes on mainstream politicians even when they are speaking objective falsehoods. This is because that system requires an agreement from people who usually disagree for a note to show up.
