Generally you don’t know. That’s why it is such a dirty trick.
NO - it’s quite deceptive actually. To the user, it looks like all is A OK. Like your tweets are just not very good. Few to no “likes” or “retweets”. Then if you check your stats, you see that a tweet that should have gotten maybe 150 views, got 15. I’m pretty data centric so I always look at stats :) But if you click on a hashtag = like #DrainTheSwamp - and you’ve posted there, you see your own stuff, and think “huh it posted ok, maybe nobody liked it.” = then if you LOG OUT - you see that your stuff isn’t even showing. And from what I can gather, very few of your followers see it either. It’s a very shadowy, murky silencing that my lawyer husband thinks violates their user agreement.
