Technically every ban here is a shadow ban as you don't get notified for it.

Shadow banning is more than just not telling you. It also doesn't stop you from posting or interacting with anything; but hides all that from everyone else so you don't even know you're not visible. It's worse than a regular ban because it also wastes your fucking time.
