it actually accelerated after trump won, from there we saw ban wave after ban wave that was barely targetting misinformation trolls. when i went on another forum after my early FEBURARY BAN, people recorded 3 ban waves by that time, and the midst of a 4th one, i think the luigi, upvoting is the 5th one so far.

there was nother user on the forum that recorded the statistics, there was massive surge of shadowbannings on the week i was permabanned. it is statistically relevant since theses users are the ones have 100s too thousands of accts getting shadowbanned.(yes they use it to promote advertisements)
