What “shadowbanned” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediashadowbanned
- verbTo ban a discussion board user without their knowledge, allowing them to continue reading and commenting, but rendering their comments invisible to other users.
Shadow banning, also known as stealth banning, hell banning, ghost banning, and comment ghosting, is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or the user's content from some areas of an online community in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user, regardless of whether the action is taken by an individual or an algorithm. For example, shadow-banned comments posted to a blog or media website would be visible to the sender, but not to other users accessing the site.
