Basically what the title says. I commented on a post and sent a link to my comment to my wife to get her take on the post and my response. To start, the link just takes her to the topic and not my comment. If she tries to find my comment it isn’t listed. If she manually goes to my profile and tracks down the comment all it says is “[Removed]”. However, from my perspective the comment is still live with 1 view and no activity. I’ve tried closing my browser, refreshing the page and everything and for me the comment is still visible even on the page for the post. For everybody else though it has been removed.
The crazy thing is the comment isn’t even controversial; somebody asked for marriage advice and I gave some. The “removal” seems to be automated too because I sent her the link basically as soon as I posted the comment and it was already shadow banned.
I don’t think what OP experienced was a shadowban. It sounds more like a regular comment removal.
If the bot or mod doesn’t reply to you, you don’t get notified iirc.
That’s true but they wouldn’t be able to see their comment still available if that were the case.
In any case I was just commenting on the shadow banning part. Seems that OP didn’t understand what shadow banning was so I was explaining.
