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

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 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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 5 hours 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.
