| It sure beats the Reddit system where you think you are interacting with people, only to find out a couple of days later that your fresh account is shadow-banned and nobody is seeing your comments and that none of your likes went through. At least Facebook tells you that you are banned. |

| Tip: You can always tell if you are banned on Reddit by accessing the shadowban appeal page which is only visible if you are shadowbanned yourself: https://reddit.com/appeal |

| ▲ | phpnode 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | since almost forever, that's what the "show dead" toggle in your profile settings is for - it shows the dead posts from shadow banned people | | |

| ▲ | daneel_w 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | "Spamming", or rather, responding too quickly in an intense discussion, is cause for automatic shadowban here on HN. It happened to me on a previous account some years ago. The posts themselves were harmless, I merely responded to too many users in a too short timeframe. My attempts at having the ban undone also turned out to be a waste of time. Completely absurd. |
