It's a new word for hellbanning which pretty much everyone decided was fucked up 15-20 years ago.

Since it's creation. The US government does not own twitter. It has been owned 4 different for Profit Corporations since it was created.

Did the shadowbans increase or decrease since it went off the public stock market?

Curious!

Since when? And when were the shadowbans?

Was happening pre-Musk taking over

People had passed it along through word of mouth trial and error after it happened to them, then I believe Musk outted them when he found it in the algorithms or somethin

Oh shit, he still kept it in though…hmm. I wouldn’t have, but whatever

Ya, it’s free so def not as bad as losing money. But being defrauded (by not being informed they could be banned without notification with the service, causing them to waste their time continuing to post) out of one’s time I feel matters to me more the older I get

But either way, I never used Twatter and I never will anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They do make money off their users. Not much each, but at scale.

one way to shadowban everyone around u is to just not pay much attention to what they say so if they write a really big long tldr post u only read like the headline and 3 words then write ur own super tldr long poast about whatever u want anyway

Twitter is privately owned platform and so is this Server. There is no morality involved in banning. Nilbog and Rogean could "Shadowban" the whole server and their would be nothing unethical about it. They own it, they can do whatever the hell they want with it.

Eh I dunno, privately owned entities do immoral things all the time. If shadowbanning is unethical in any context, I'm not sure why it magically changes. It's either unethical or it isn't.

That being said I think this forum does a relatively good job of only banning really terribly egregious things/posters, or speech that would be illegal irl.

Twitter is kind of a different story due to the whole "defacto public square" thing. If your platform has become a place where a large majority of people get their information, particularly on people running for public office, I think you have much more of an ethical duty to uphold legal free speech than a forum like this does.

The fact that Horza didnt make the list speaks a lot about OP.
