You say “shadow-banned”, I say that that all of your bot followers don’t do well on engagement.

That, or just maybe, everyone’s just ignoring you.

Thanks for "speaking truth to power" as they used to say. Keep up the good work. Hopefully the parallel economy will eventually offer more opportunities to bypass the current hi-tech hypocritical biases.

Gary, here is what I’e observed lately with my own minimal social media presence.... On FB, pretty much everything I post addresses current events and my dissatisfaction with the current administration, COVID, TDS... I’ve been in the time out box a few times, and my FB exposure has definitely been minimized. My fellow “protesters” see my posts several days later or not at all. Instagram is where I post pics of my baked goods, adorable grandchildren and occasional road trips...nothing ever political or controversial. But now Zuckerberg seems to be cross checking because my Instagram views that used to average 70 ( friends and family) now hover around 12....it’s subtle but I know so many people like you that are being shadow banned simply because your posts are not false, but too true...
