Good for them. I’m mostly interested in OSINT content, not so much war propaganda.

For OSINT, I usually use the Institute for the Study of War.

I also prefer OSINT stuff over propaganda memes. But I don't think that the propaganda memes should be deboosted / shadowbanned, especially if they are ya know? Honest memes / funnier stuff SFW?

The question is of Twitter and their shadowban policy. They're still clearly shadowbanning / deboosting / manipulating results. Its just switched politics, that's all.

Yes, that’s one of the sources I use as well.

I’m still not convinced that they are, to be honest.
