Thank you kindly Lauren. I am truly humbled by people here and their kindness whereas all I knew in the #hatepit was just #shadowbanning from the #Apartheidkid or suspension. I hope you all the kind followers will find my posts challenging and witty

Don’t worry, this poem will be shadow-banned and don’t worry as we won’t have to be sad soon when it’s the Gaza riviera.

Dear @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @bsky.app
Be great if you could stop #shadowbanning my account.
I have noticed for the last six months. This is not my first time at the rodeo.
I thought this platform was all about #FreeSpeech #1Amendment or have you become like #META #TikTok #Twitter ?

Hace muy poco me entere que plataformas como face o youtube vienen aplicando hace años una forma atenuada, pero muy efectiva de #censura a traves de una tecnica llamada #ShadowBanning o algo asi, que vendria a ser como la encapsulacion de la cuenta afectada […]

This blog and our LGBTQ+ nonprofit are being silenced on social media and PayPal I am aghast to report that Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities fundraising tools on GoFundMe, Facebook/Instagram/Meta, and PayPal have all been choked. We don’t know why. We simply received notifications after they paused our accounts. GoFundMe and Meta use PayPal Charities to distribute donations. I completed the paperwork they sent to me, asked for clarification, and received […] The post This blog and our LGBTQ+ nonprofit are being silenced on social media and PayPal first appeared on Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents.

X (ex Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, TicToc und wie sie alle heißen funktionieren nur so. Algorithmen bestimmen wer Reichweite bekommt, durch unsere Daten wird personalisierte Werbung geschaltet. Meldet man aufdringliche Werbung wird man weniger vom Algorithmus berücksichtigt. #ShadowBanning droht.

Aus dem Schatten: Shadow Banning und die Folgen Shadow Banning kann bestimmte Meinungen aus dem Netz verdrängen, ohne dass die Plattformen dies begründen müssen. Was Betroffene erleben und wie du das Phänomen erkennst:

#ShadowBanning liest sich erstmal seltsam, doch dahinter versteckt sich das bestimmte Meinungen und Themen verdrängt oder stumm geschaltet werden. Und das kann politische und gesellschaftliche Debatten massiv beeinflussen. Das passiert in jedem Netzwerk das wir nutzen.

Licht und Schatten Wird diese Nachricht nicht richtig dargestellt, klicke bitte hier. Hate Aid Jetzt spenden Gefahren von Shadow Banning Undurchsichtige Praktiken der Plattformen Nicht nur Hasskommentare, auch das heimliche Stummschalten politischer Inhalte untergräbt unsere Demokratie. Immer öfter hören unsere Berater*innen von Betroffenen, dass ihre Beiträge eingeschränkt oder gesperrt werden - ohne Begründung und ohne Transparenz. Was wir herausgefunden haben und warum das sogenannte Shadow Banning eigentlich rechtswidrig ist, erfährst du in unserem Artikel. Mehr über Shadow Banning🖖

#ShadowBanning …

ist kein Schutz, sondern ein unsichtbarer Angriff auf die Meinungsfreiheit.

Wer #Demokratie ernst nimmt, darf keine Stimmen heimlich zum Schweigen bringen.

#Americans are protesting and fighting in cities across the country.

#Media is not covering it. #Socialmedia is #shadowbanning creators using protests in their algorithms.

So protests continue under the name “MUSIC FESTIVALS” and usually have the city name in front. Stand strong. SOLIDARITY ‼️

Everything we know about ‘shadowbans’ on social media Call it a “shadowban” or “algorithmic suppression,” but companies are tight-lipped about what gets blocked from algorithmic feeds.

Social platforms are quietly silencing protest coverage by burying activist journalists through covert algorithmic suppression.

Mastodon.social shadowbanned me `Mastodon.social` once was the glorious flagship instance for Mastodon. However, nowadays, it seems to be deep in control of German censorship. I’m running my own GotoSocial instance for a while now. A few weeks ago, I found this in my admin panel: Someone on `mastodon.social` reported me for supposedly supporting the German right-wing party. And their moderation team seemingly found it funny to act on it. Even though nowhere in their rules it says anything about this even being any offence. Sadly, I don’t see the toot in question, however, the only interaction on that day I had with someone on `mastodon.social` was this reply of mine: ## Markus @mbirth@social.mbirth.uk @kai1108 @lovinurbanism Ach, hat er das? Der hat sich erstmal nur hingestellt und was behauptet. Es gäbe angeblich auch einen ganz tollen Bericht mit all den harten Fakten, den darf aber niemand sehen. Das ist nicht viel anders wie “Doch, ich hab die Hausaufgaben gemacht, aber dann hat sie mein Hund gefressen.” 6 May 2025, 12:59 That’s all. I merely questioned blindly believing the German Federal Constitutional Court’s ruling (which is bound by instructions of the ruling government, by the way) of the right-wing party being “assuredly extremist” based on some secret report that nobody is allowed to see. (And which later turned out to be completely unsubstantial as many people suspected.) Nothing else. That seemingly was enough for `mastodon.social`‘s moderation team to shadowban (or what the manual calls “limiting”, formerly known as “silencing”) my account. But effectively this is a shadow ban – as people pointed out to them in 2018. And this shadowban basically prevents me from interacting with anyone on `mastodon.social` that isn’t already following me. And if I wasn’t an admin on my own instance, I wouldn’t even get that notification in the screenshot above. The only symptoms you can notice if you know what to look for: Nobody from `mastodon.social` (that isn’t following you) reacts to your toots anymore. Even replies to people on there are not seen by anyone on that instance apart from your existing followers. The second symptom is: You can’t even follow people on there anymore. Well, according to their documentation, you can – the people in question would just have to manually approve your followership. However, I can only guess that they might be suspicious and ignore that – as it’s not normal behaviour unless they’ve explicitly turned it on for every new follower. This is the status of two accounts on there that I’ve tried to follow a few days ago: You’re basically prevented from contacting and/or following any non-follower – just because one single person reported you and their moderation team couldn’t be bothered to check whether that report was justified or not. And the best part: There’s no way of contacting anyone to shed some light on it or get the ban lifted. If you contact their moderation team, you’ll get an auto-reply that clearly states that they’ll only help if you’re a user on their server. If you’re not, tough luck. I’ve also contacted their staff email address, but was completely ignored there, too. I’m cut off from (most of) `mastodon.social` because of an irritated user and a moderator not doing their job properly.

I've written down how mastodon.social shadowbanned me and there's no way to even contact anyone about it.
