I haven’t been able to post anything for the last two days. I don’t know if I was banned for a bit or not since I received no notice or warning.
If it wasn’t a ban what happened?
How were you “not able to post anything”? If you noticed you weren’t able to post anything (e.g. got an error message), that was (by definition) probably not shadow banning.
I wasn’t getting anything. I would press the post button and it would just endlessly loop and never post.
That isn’t shadow banning, it sounds more like a server (performance?) issue on your instance.
Probably. It’s over now whatever it was.
The Lemmy software doesn’t have shadow banning, and in fact has a mod log that is very transparent about moderator actions. The modlog doesn’t seem to have anything for you.
Then I wonder what the problem was?
It was probably just your connection timing out.
Every ban on lemmy is effectively a shadow ban as you don’t get notified for it
Sure about this? I got notification of being banned from the tankie instance for what I think they referred to as western propaganda
Did you point out that the sky is blue?
It was for saying Ukraine has a right to defend itself from Russia and if Russia wants the war to end they should leave lol
It was probably your instance having issues
Check the mod log. There’s a link to it in the footer.
I question the health of anybody who even has “shadow ban” in their brain when an instance breaks.
Hey, if you got to enjoy that feature from reddit like me, you’d be paranoid too
Might be your home instance is having performance issues, resulting in your posts getting timeouts or bad gateway errors.
You getting any specific error messages from your client when you try to post?
It has banning without message. It is possible your ban only showed up in the modlog.
