I have discussed these specifics many times with the principals involved, and with anyone that has expressed interest. I probably have posted this information as far back as 2017, or as soon as these issues became clear to me. The responses from consensus witnesses has been consistent and unproductive. From whales themselves I have heard a range of responses, from earnest denials of coordination of any kind, to being flagged for months at a time. A key aspect of denials are a refusal to accept the definition of censorship long established by authoritative sources, and another is the pretense that rewards aren't yours until seven days after you post, as if wages weren't yours until you cashed your paycheck.

I am surprised you have not heard this before, but perhaps I am too familiar with my own account and overestimate it's reach, which wouldn't surprise me. Hurt has pre-empted me by stating his interest in making a post about it, and I am as happy to discuss it there as on a post I make myself, actually more because then I am not simply repeating myself but engaging with someone else interested in these matters.
