“or I get so many followers I can put pressure on the people that lied to her in the first place”

…so you want to do to others what you are fighting against for in this thread? gain followers and use that to enforce pressure on others speech.

I really hope you find Digit and get to talk to them again. But I honestly think you are not being censored in any way. You are just not reaching parts of the network that did not mind about your goals in the first place. Even if they could see you, It would not help in your search.
