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?

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

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

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Logout and browse your user profile page via old.Reddit it'll say banned or suspended.

[-] undone@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Ah. That's even easier. Good to know how to quickly check.

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.

[-] undone@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

haha. seeing as I don't usually get much interaction I would never notice.

switched to lemmy as main platform on my phone a few days ago anyway. when boost for reddit finally was blocked completely. will try to be more active here and hope many other people do the same... there is a good chance with all that's going on.

yeah I probably wouldn't notice if everyone else in town was replaced by robots tomorrow until I went and tried to feed randos and found they didn't eat anymore.

How do you find out?

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

[-] undone@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Hmm. Will try it some time. Sometimes it feels like being shadow-banned.... but TBH it's more likely just not so active communities / mediocre contribution on my part.
