X censors and they censor in the worst way possible, because they aren't transparent about it. X will limit your reach and hide your posts without you being told this is happening and their algorithms can send you to X purgatory with a few posts after making a new account.
I actually think the leftist form of censorship where they just ban you is more honest and better. X's form of censorship where they pretend to be pro free speech but then isolate your account from being able to engage with anyone else while claiming to be for free speech is deceitful and worse.

This is their new form of banning. See Reddit for how they normally operate.
Shadow bans imposed by intricate filters set up by a guy with a hard drive full of cheese pizza?
Shadow bans imposed before rule changes.
The left does both forms of censorship. Pretty sure reddit was shadow banning long before twitter became x.
Yeah that'd been going on since before the original GG days.
