I'm not on Twitter and yet I'm probably aware of far-right commentary on the platform. I can't say I'm aware of any "far left extremists" as you call them. Who are the "far left extremists" that you mention? Isn't there more attention to far-right Twitter accounts due to the increase in violence taking place in the name of far-right politics?

It's not really a left vs right case, but there are many instances in both Twitter and Reddit of women openly hating men, which isn't censored, while the opposite (men openly hating women) is censored or punished.

I don't want to name individual Twitter users, but you can check the r/FemaleDatingStrategy subreddit to have an idea.

Edit: I've done a quick Google search on reddit of "I hate men" and "I hate women" and they both seem to be quite prevalent, so maybe there isn't that much of a bias in terms of banning users. Although I still believe there is bias in terms of which subreddits have been deleted, quarantined, or allowed to continue.

that may be true. it's also an indicator of the bubble you're a part of, if true.
