That was five years ago. That was prior to constant censoring of conservatives. Twitter is unwilling to allow that mistake to happen again.
There are a lot of conservatives still on twitter. There are still a lot of smart informed people on twitter. That part hasn’t changed at all. Twitter is still the best place for breaking news you won’t see anywhere else. This thread is proof, the linked article is based on tweets.
There was a lot of video posted on twitter on Jan 6 in real time that refuted the idea it was a riot or insurrection. I’ve got some of it booked marked. Twitter can’t delete it all, they can’t keep up.
