Shadow banned on reddit years ago.

What exactly is Shadow Banning

You comment but your comment is not displayed. It can be done at the sub level by the mods at their whim or you can be blanket banned. So I could post on some—politically neutral—subs and get responses but on others I'd soon realize that no one could read me. It is the social media equivalent of hitting below the belt and is one reason I left reddit. A whole lot of saidit people left reddit for the same reason.

Happens in the Youtube section too. Not only that, youtube comments can get auto-deleted. Happens often in cases where you post sensitive links.

Reddit also has a shadowban function for posting links. Accounts can be shadowbanned from posting non-mainstream links on the entire site.

It happened to a lot of people. Early on, I had a great time on reddit but before the 2016 election the mods were just terrible bullies. Other saidit users will tell you why they came here and usually it was because they were banned or shadow banned. Check out the sub called s/Introductions . Every time we would get a wave of new users, it could be traced back to a wave of bannings. Notice how there are no big flame wars on saidit? So, welcome to saidit.
