This, plus the safety council and the pruning of trending topics is definitely a pattern. It's also probably counter productive - this lets activists like Milo campaign on being oppressed for their views, which widens their public appeal enormously. It also adds to the perception of SV as behind-the-scenes manipulative, even if that's not true. Finally, it heightens the idea that the modern Left can't take criticism and is quietly authoritarian, which is exactly the bogeyman these commentators want​. If it were just this, I wouldn't believe it, but this is post #1000 about Twitter deprioritizing conservatives. I don't get why they do it, but then again, I don't get a lot about Twitter management. These people, and definitely Milo, would likely fade into obscurity if left alone.
