Stop shadowbanning users - It was a tool made for spam bots, not to silence dissent. The mere fact that a perfectly legitimate user can be shadowbanned without their knowledge is ridiculous, and it has been happening more and more in the past few months/year

Thank you!

I recently realised I was shadowbanned from a sub where I was posting for fucking months. I only realised when I checked why nobody was responding to me by looking in incognito mode. None of my stuff was visible.

I messaged the mod team who immediately removed me from it, and said they didn't know why I'd been shadowbanned.

Shadowbanning is a shitty practice that basically nets reddit ad revenue while denying that person the ability to participate. Banning should come with a message and a right to appeal, especially if it's been done by automod.
