Twitter has lost a ton of revenue, has dropped significantly in web ranking, recently had a gargantuan outage (which they are still recovering from), and they've made a number of extremely questionable decisions regarding privacy and security.

If you told me moderation staff and moderation tools were extremely understaffed at the moment, I would believe you. The false positive rate is likely high.

Additionally, Social Media CEOs (particularly Reddit and Twitter) seem to be a bit thin skinned right now, with the clear decline of Twitter encouraging lots of players to enter the space. I believe that Elon has officially said, multiple times, that "advertising" another social media platform on Twitter is a rules violation.

Put both of those together - declining platform and reactionary CEO - and this person's experience aren't surprising.
