"As we’re improving our processes for evaluating managers, for sharing feedback with the team as we’re improving our recruiting and hiring to build a more diverse team, let’s also turn that same eye on our game. But why not do that while we’re also working on larger cultural unity and diversity and safety issues and more? This isn’t an 'or.' It’s an 'and.'

While many welcomed the removal of inappropriate content, he noted, others were confused or even frustrated.
