This is interesting, thanks. I am also curious about how the "pile on" of replies to a comment that doesn't support the "narrative"

Is it a case where you, the "non-narrative" poster is trying to be baited to write something to get them in twitter trouble? Bury your tweet/reply? Are certain accounts flagged and patrolled because of their past tweeting/reply history? Or do some accounts/bots search text in the twitterspere? Lots of questions

at this stage, this is really only speculation. impossible to prove. if i was let out of the wrongthink slammer, i could do some more testing, but alas...

wrt baiting - all i meant was that people who challenge the narrative should refrain from incendiary language, because it'll be used as an excuse to land you a ban for a number of days, or entirely get your account permanently suspended. and this will not be uphold similarly wrt those who seek to rile you. i know, because that's the fate which met my first twitter account.
