I don’t get the viz. are there a roughly equal number of pro-Trump accounts to liberal/proggle accounts? Are pro-Trump accounts equal in number and scope to anti-Trump conservatives?

I think it shows the relative size of influential accounts, but not necessarily total number of accounts for whatever side. And the big black dot in the middle is Trump himself, so I don't think it divides cleanly between pro and anti-trump conservatives.

I wonder how many of those are just bots.

If Facebook was purged of most political content, I might consider using it. Its too much to hope for that this will be the end result of this trend.

Aussies are also the best shitposters, so they must be handicapped in some fashion to give the rest of the world a chance.

One can't be caught noticing. Its also funny in that they usually ignore the highest follower count entities and ban the mid tier accounts. Its not so much about blocking the message as preventing the undesireables from networking.

I assumed they avoided banning the large accounts because they wanted to avoid an exodus, but since they can shut down alternative social media right now, why worry about that?

Probably some stupid metrics they'd have to explain to their board.

Or, hedging on whether Republicans ever are allowed political power again. Teddy II would not be good for them.

Things really have gotten scary now that Twitter is able to shut down the other social networks.
