Not sure there is anything to gain here. Moderation is inherently subjective, especially at the scale of Twitter. The same people would just continue arguing about what should and should not be moderated and how.

Transparency would be helpful. At the very least it would cut off the speculation about what did or didn't behind the scenes. Right now it's a black box.

transparency would mean that every action they take gets scrutinized to absurdity, there’s no way they’d open that door of their own volition

In all 14,000,605 futures people will argue about this.

I think it would be better if it was an informed argument.
