In a turn of events, 300 followers just showed back up on my account but they aren’t new, just added back. I’m still down about 500 from yesterday though.

The way Twitter targets conservatives is selective enforcement.

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.



It's very simple. Start your own just for conservatives

You rubes are probably reacting to Russian propaganda.

''It's very simple. Start your own just for conservatives.''
Most people who call themselves conservative don't know the meaning of the word.

It's about goddamn time they started doing something about the bots on twitter. They have been getting totally out of hand.

Because they probably were. Invent your own social media platform if it upsets you so much.

What a crock.

Plenty of liberals reported they lost followers on twitter too. But they didn't whine about it.

Conservatives crying on twitter like they are the only one losing followers. Always the victims.

Maybe the reason conservatives lost more followers is that they had more Russian bot following them.

I never said it was. If Twitter wants to be a left-wing hive mind that's their right. But they should be honest about it. As a publicly traded company they have an obligation to be upfront about their politics.
