Yep. @Twitter took over 200k in just the last several months and delete on average 1k a day. I noticed a 30k drop overnight once and began taking a screenshot a day to track it. It lost its value as a platform with no real, organic, measurable reach.

Run your platform in whatever scared way you want, just don’t pretend that you’re fostering anything but an echo chamber of confirmation bias and mob rule. It stopped being a place reflective of real conversation a long time ago.
Meanwhile, most of the tweets capslocking “gun whore” or “hope you die” stay up while people are suspending for innocuously mocking mockable journos. This platform is the social media version of “Caillou.”
Anyway, I’m going back to pretending to be on vacation. I’m sure Twitter/Social Media Caillou will finish deleting the remainder of my 1m following by the time I’m back behind the mic. Hard to get that Borg goal with diverse thought and all.
