Why the fuck is every second poster here shadowbanned? And what does it mean exactly?

A shadow ban is a ban that is basically secret. You don't see that you are shadow banned, but when you make a post, it does not display to the rest of reddit. It's basically a form of sneaky censorship originally intended to be used against bots - now some administrator is using it to silence opinions that he doesn't like.

It probably means that Zoe is fucking at least one reddit admin.
