I wasn't going to say anything because I pick my battles; but this is driving me nuts. Why is it every time someone tweets something negative about the Lincoln Project, random accounts swarm the tweet and defend the Lincoln Project? It happens every time.

Earlier, @williamlegate tweeted about the Lincoln Project and his tweet was swarmed in seconds. He eventually deleted the tweet. That is not normal activity.

Don't take my word for it. Next time a fairly influential Twitter account tweets something negative about the Lincoln Project, just read the replies and look at the accounts replying.

"Twitter will start hiding tweets that detract from the conversation. The company is trying out a new way to stop trolls from ruining your mentions."

That account previously had a higher Bot Sentinel rating.

Here is another example; there are many.

Here is an example of an account telling me to "let it go" while defending the effectiveness of the Lincoln Project. Notice, I never attacked the Lincoln Project, nor did I mention anything about their effectiveness. 👀

It's interesting it also happened in this thread. You would think they would avoid a thread highlighting suspicious Twitter activity.🙃

The first account I tweeted locked their account after I tweeted about it.😐

Here is the tweet that is now locked. Thankfully the Android app is allowing me to see the cached tweet.
