How does a twitter shadowban work? 1) you are flagged for an arbitrary reason by someone with a special interest behind closed doors. you are never notified, nor given any chance to appeal and you are never informed you have been "shadowed" 2) the shadowban is shared with facebook and other social media like instagram. 3) your posts are visible to you, including likes, retweets, shares but no one sees your replies, likes, retweets, quote retweets and tweets. You can verify this by logging out and looking at the tweets you liked. Or use a private browser (incognito) to verify you are shadowbanned. 4) you will automatically unfollow brands and people you want to follow, just like Youtube has done for many youtube channels they wished to 'disconnect' from being heard or followed. 5) the chilling effect this has on the shadowbanned is multifaceted: it creates the impression that they are in control, communicating their thoughts and dreams into the world. However, this is all for naught - going into the "void" of blackness on the internet. finally, it begins to take a psychological toll when the person feels that people are ignoring, disliking or shunning their thoughts, feelings, opinions or business (if it is a brand they are trying to operate). this is one of the reasons for uncensorable, blockchain verifiable communications platforms.
