I just got banned from Twitter a couple days ago for the same reason: "platform manipulation and spam". I only occasionally tweet about college football and don't do anything illicit at all. All I can figure is I was banned simply because of the accounts I follow, which included @TrackerTrial among other "controversial" conservative-type political accounts.

- bufferoverflow 5y agoYou got banned for not being far-left. Twitter has been banning conservative accounts with huge followings for years, sometimes without any stated reason. The solution is not to use Twitter for political news or discourse, they are trying to shape it in quite obvious ways. Independent alternatives is what we need.
- StanislavPetrov 5y ago>Twitter has been banning conservative accounts It's not merely "conservative" accounts who have been banned. Plenty of anti-war activists, supporters of government transparency and general voices against the narrative set by the DC blob have been banned who were in no way, "conservative". You could ask Wikileaks supporters how they have been treated by Twitter, if you can find any of them that haven't been banned.
