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.
Silently is how you’re shadow banned. That what shadow banning means.
I noticed if you swear too much they won’t make your comment visible. So I swear like a sailor. Fuck their site if they don’t want actual engagement. Just want to appeal to advertisers.
What’s the point of posting if your comment isn’t going to be visible?
I posted a comment because I had something to say. Needing to be heard is different.
Edit: removal of line that was needlessly
aggressivecondescendingWhy are you being so aggressively condescending to that poor commenter? They asked an innocent question.
I’m autistic and genuinely can’t see the
