even on their page, I can only mute, block or report....

welp, time to make a gab

been on the fence about it for a while now, but if twitter doesnt like em, they must be good

@LotheronPrime what the fuck

hold on dude

they're account/tweets are protected

I can't imagine why *they* would do that though...

wait noit's not

@.Not Sean nah, gab is run by censorious SJWs

i can see it fine

however

when i go to shadowban.eu to find out if they're shadowbanned or not

it shows as they havent tweeted ever

More modern study

YOOOOOOO i cant even retweet them

holy shit

>literally greyed out

@LotheronPrime i can access them just fine

Or look at the hypothesis

so did they do it, or did twitter force it upon them

but why can i see their twitter account?

https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/public-and-protected-tweets

lol

you can still see them because you follow them

ohhhhhhh

that being said.. why would their account be in protected status

so if i didnt follow them before they put the account in protected mode

does that mean i would not be able to follow them after that

or they would have to like explicitly approve

its also recent, pretty sure I've copied lately

Is that so that people don't get in trouble for who follows them?

Like say 100 KKK members were trying to follow the trumpster and he didn't approve them and as a result he can't get in trouble for it?
