How do you know if you are being shadowbanned? How do other people know if someone is being shadowbanned? I don't get how this work.

I was evidently banned for talking about this over on /r/games the other day. And I'll probably be banned again for this, but I really don't care at this point.
They keep *saying* it has to do with some nebulous idea of "vote manipulation" but I didn't do anything more than add an upvote to many of these top comments.
So: Don't vote on comments and don't talk about the same subject in two different subs.

For other people: If you go to someone's profile page, it brings up a 404 page.
For your own account: Log out and go to your profile page, if it 404s, you've been shadowbanned.
The idea behind shadowbans is that you don't know you've been shadowbanned.
