This would immediately be called racist, hate speech, etc. and would not work. Unfortunately that is what it has become.
So maybe the fact that there isn't an alternative platform because the humans needed to start one are still posting on twitter and have no need to start one or join one.
Seems like basic economics so maybe believing one is a victim is not exclusive to the left.

I'm sure a ton of these people banned did indeed have a bunch of bots following them.
But the issue is that there are just as many left wingers with bot armies that Twitter leaves alone.
Twitter is not going after people with bot followers. They are shutting down the actual bot accounts. Some real acct will probably be shut down accidentally possibly.
Twitter is free to limit their user base anyway they see fit just like facebook, youtube, or tigerdroppings.
This is not a free speech issue.

private actors are subject to government. I think this kind of bull shite is actionable either thru antitrust laws or RICO.
His one could justify they fall under RICO never seems to make much sense, this makes the least sense yet. So what in particular do you think falls under Racketeering here?

Every fricking account I have had on twitter has been accused of being a bot. There is some process to prove you aren’t but it requires giving them more info so frick them
Love all the fricking leftists denying it happens - what keen investigative skills!

And at least here, we can post more character, interact much more with the same people, and besides just quoting a poster, we don't have a quick retweet/favorite button to spread simple else's post.
So besides the posters who only post "melt" or when cptbengal is just accusing someone of being "prog filth," I could see his you would come off as potential bot on Twitter.

twitter is a tool of democratic progressive marxism.

Only conservative bots are bad. Libs have armies of bots on twitter.. twitter will not touch those, because lib bots spread the message that twitter agrees with.
If social media is so fricking powerful that it can influence national elections, then they need to be regulated so that one side of the political spectrum isn't censored into the ground.

ISIS is their ally against conservatives and Christians, why would they ban their ally?

There are apps you can use to monitor who is unfollowing you so that you can unfollow back. Twitter will limit how many you can follow if you don't have a certain number of followers hence the usefulness of these apps. I use Crowdfire which gives you the details of the unfollowers. I will typically get a few a day but 350 in one night is fishy.
All of the accounts were setup as conservative or pro-Trump, NRA, etc. in their profile description.

Conservatives own AM talk radio and all of the TV Evangelists (when not grubbing for money) are certainly philosophically in sync with the far right. I'd think that you'd be happy with that.
