Posts like this keep showing up here. My own Twitter account was deleted a few days ago and I never really even posted. I just used it to follow some accounts talking about the war.

If someone wanted my advice I might say:

1 - Be the change. Don't find it acceptable that some corporation kicks someone off their service / cancels them just because they're a republican, or vocal, or otherwise believes something you disagree with. Speech is free or it isn't. Elon Musk had a great tweet on this a couple of weeks ago concerning people asking him to censor Russian sources of information.

2 - Don't patronize those that censor. And it's no coincidence that those that censor are so often those that don't charge for their services. If you're getting it for free (money) it's not free (freedom). Sometimes paying a few bucks a month is worth it.
