The worst is shadowbanning IMO

When a company like Twitter used to essentially put someone on mute but not even notify them, causing them to waste their time posting to no one pissing into the wind

It’s the ultimate F U. I personally wouldn’t do it as a company to my worst enemy, but I guess when you need to be the hero of your own story and feel like you are triumphing over eeeevil, anything goes

That's fair. A shady practice no doubt. If you're going to shadow ban, you might as well straight ban, but maybe the shadow ban is temporary and they want the user to continue to engage in the service.

Thats the fucking point. Shadowbanning is based as fuck and akin to firing people on a friday so they have the weekend to cooldown and not come back to shoot up the place.

To me shadowbanning is more like what happened to Milton in Office Space where they fire him but never tell him, causing him to continue to come in working for free TBH

It is statistically possible all non-quoting and non-referring posts on this entire site are made by people who have each other on ignore, or, have been put on a hidden ignore by nefarious mods performing experiments on the randomness of crowds.

I expect there's two versions of this site now.

One here.

And the one that the public �� sees.

These forums are a treasure trove of natural language. It's a valuable fucking thing, those LLM's shouldn't be getting it for nothing

Wanted to amend that maybe Twitter (not calling it X they can go F themselves) still does this and even if they do, they should be required to have on their terms of service that no one reads giant red print that says “BTW if we happen to not like what you post based on our biased ideas of what we like on that day, we will do everything in our power to trick you into wasting your time on our site”

Then at least they’re being transparent. And I wonder who could even think of shadowbanning as a concept. Some next-level sociopath is sitting there like “guys, guys, banning is just not enough. We got to steal from them, and if they aren’t paying, we can at least steal their time by making them waste it. Hey what about we accidentally leak their info and doxx? Oh too far? Ok, well let’s put a pin in that idea, maybe for a future meeting”

Shadow ban maybe done to prevent ban evading alt accounts?

Maybe let shadow banned folks view only similarly shadowbanned folks’ content? Basically create an RNF version of the service populated by only trolls/offenders/etc.

the trick is to shadowban a bunch of ppl together into an echo chamber that reinforces their psychoseses
