Description

A form of censorship where a platform limits the visibility of a user's content without notifying them, effectively making their posts invisible to the public. Users often suspect they are shadowbanned when their engagement drops significantly or their posts stop appearing in search results. It is a common topic of frustration among creators who feel their reach is being unfairly throttled.

Example

My engagement has been non-existent for a week; I think I might be shadowbanned.

The algorithm is so unpredictable that it is hard to tell if you are actually shadowbanned or just posting bad content.
