Yeah, turns out it was an automated response to the account getting too many follows in a short time. There's enough genuinely bad things about the platform that we don't need to get mad at some speculation.

Weird right? You'd think they might check. Then they would be able to write something like this.

An initial search for KamalaHQ on The New Republic’s X account also found that the campaign account is limited. The campaign account showed up in repeated subsequent searches, seeming to suggest the issue is being resolved.

Over all I upvote posts if its something I would like to know about.

In this case its good to know that there was some limit issue that (as on the page say) is already resolved.

If it was intentionally done or not we will never know, but its good to know if it would happen again that there is some limit.

I upvote because:

• even if it was some wrongly implemented limit in this case, the shadow banning/hidding posts (or like in this case blocking follow) will happen in the future on all large platforms, it's human nature to abuse it if you can get away with it
• I dont like big central platforms, I rather would like to have a transparent/open platform but I know it will never happen as servers costs money and people like "free" and convenient stuff so platforma will keep monetizing people activity
• if it could be even slightly true I rather have as many (affected) people know about it that there was an issue with follow and now it is resolved so they can retry to follow
