@CloudViraa @X Yes. That's been going on for the better part of a year before they shut us down on June 24th. @X was secretly shadow banning us more than we realized. They refused to stop and often harrassed us when we tried to have a civil discourse with them.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Where can we find Kingshark Sports on Substack?

A: https://t.co/KIiGsZTjWu Again, it's a free subscription. Simply sign-up for Substack. It's free and takes about two minutes if you take your time.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Any other parting words for @X?

A: We have none. We have said what we said this past Monday. We are no longer fans of this platform. They lost us because they lost our trust. We don't want to be somewhere where we are not welcome or wanted. We took the hint. We are done here.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Advise to those who still are using @X?

A: Be careful what you do here. @X is NOT your friend. Their moderators will find any excuse to shadow ban you or suspend you. They do not care. This is not a free forum. If they can go after a sports blogger, they'll go after anyone.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Where can we find Kingshark Sports if you are no longer on @X?

A: Kingshark Sports is alive and well. We joined Substack on 8/15/2026 and did a brief reorganization. We have a more open and freer platform there. It's a subscription service. Our subscription price is free.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Have you reached out to Elon Musk about these issues?

A: No. Elon Musk really has nothing to do with our issues here. Our only beef with him is that @X was supposed to be an open platform. It clearly isn't. Not even for a simple sports blogger. Musk would not have interest.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: If @X were to offer any kind of olive branch, would you consider returning?

A: We wish we could return. @X is not in the olive branch business and never offered any apologies for their actions. We won't consider a return since we cannot trust the hosts or moderators here.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: You had a Blue Checkmark. Did this matter or was it taken into consideration?

A: Apparently not. The Blue Checkmark was our way of showing @X we wanted to and were perfectly willing to work with them in good faith. That was the only real reason we had it.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: What were these alleged violations?

A: Platform Manipulation, Inauthentic Behaviors. We don't even know specifically what those are. If any violations did occur they were not intentional. We wanted @X just to give some help as to avoid such issues. @X never offered guidance.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Did you try to reach out to @X to clear up any issues and see how you could operate within their guidelines?
A: We offered multiple times to speak with @X Corp reps over the phone or even Zoom. They refused each time. They simply never wanted to work with us.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Q: Why did @KingsharkSports leave @X?

A: We did not choose to leave @X nor did we want to. Unfortunately, @X has forced us to move off this platform due to several disputes they have with how we operated on the platform. We were accused of multiple violations that we did not do.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

Followers: Hi. We have received some questions about what happened and why we are no longer on @X. We wanted to go ahead and address a few of the questions for those still on this platform. We will be brief but we want to bring some clarity to what happened between us and @X.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

@X Moving on to bigger and better:

> petty towards us and made it clear that we were becoming no longer welcome on your platform. You accused us of many violations including manipulating platforms which we didn't even have the capability or knowledge on how to do.

[Kingshark Sports @KingsharkSports]

@X In closing, we will also reserve the right to join any active class action lawsuits against @X at any time in the future or pursue our own legal action. With all of this said, our work is done here. We are moving on. No Regrets. No Apologies. We are officially out of here!
