I asked him a couple questions (which I posted the thread somewhere here at the time) regarding opsec, and found his answers to be ridiculous (a couple here said well maybe intentionally so), and didn't press the issue as there does seem to be a real "culture of just blocking" there rather than actual discussion.
I view Twitter-like platforms as good for info dissemination, but that's the thing, it's generally mostly people wanting to broadcast what they think, not have that thinking challenged. So for good or ill, best to approach TS that way.
I agree I think that there's a bit of a ban culture but I think for me it was mostly bad luck.
Knowing that ahead of time wouldn't have helped me ... kinda sucks I was basically blocked for calling out a spammer in his comments section and it's not like I can appeal a block 💁
I'm probably going to stay off TS from this experience probably tbh
It's not a bad platform, in fact I was really enjoying it and it's maybe just my bad luck ... but for me going to a platform specifically to follow someone's updates and then getting unilaterally blocked from even SEEING their posts pretty much right after I sign up really just just kills my personal motivation to participate.
It doesn't really change my opinion of Truth Social or Gregg Phillips that this happened. It just sucks.
