Reddit is shadow banning people like crazy as well. This is scary

what's the difference between government censorship, and corporate censorship by organs closely tied to the government, and corporate censorship by organs closely tied to the government where certain phrases are randomly declared punishable by death?

What does shadow banning typically look like? I would assume you don't get a notification? How do you find out?

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 minutes ago

you do a thing, but there are no interactions. maybe in only certain contexts. so to you it appears as if you're engaging, but your posts and sometimes reactions/votes don't show up except to you.

How do you find out?

I assume looking at reddit through an incognito window and seeing none of your posts appearing

Yeah, I was shadowbanned twice in a week because Reddit filters are garbage.
