Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.

If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.

It will but a shadow ban plays perfectly into their conspiratorial victim complex

Nah man it's completely different when society regulates itself through transparent rules vs opaque ones. It's more organized and self balancing.
