If it isn't mysterious data manipulation, conservatives are arriving in greater numbers than liberals are departing.

What's strange though is many people are reporting there accounts are suddenly un-banned and they are allowed to post and use Twitter again.

  Is this not fake news? Seems a little too fast and without the new twitter god claiming responsibility. A taste of the misinformation to come.

      I'm seeing a lot of chatter and not a lot of evidence. The biggest story appears to be a big name vying for attention and controversy. https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1518745836590702592 https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/151874583659070259...

    This will probably get downvoted and flagged (who wouldn't like to shoot the messenger) but here's an example [0] of a person posting a long chain of twits that would almost certainly warrant a ban under the old management, and not getting shot down so far.

      It doesn't look like they've been banned, unbanned, or changed their tone in the past month.

You can still be liberal and not a fan of censorship. For example, I don’t support Russia’s interference in Ukraine. However, I enjoy periodically reading RT.com which I know is biased propaganda. I read it to see the slant/arguments an entity I disagree with makes. At the same time, many are calling for the outlet to be censored. Maybe I’ll gather more perspectives, at the very least it will help me better support my own viewpoint. The heart of liberalism is the open exchange and debate of ideas.

I suppose the question this raises, is are these numbers ordinary daily fluctuation numbers or do they reflect a trend or is it "an adjustment period" after which we'll revert to ordinary daily fluctuations?
