RE: Is shadow banning a thing on steemit?

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

I think @freebornangel is referring to how some accounts (@thedarkoverlord is the only one I know offhand but there are more) are not shown on Steemit for whatever reason they fancy.

I'm no expert on "shadowbanning" though. I heard the term here for the first time.

Sort:  

Shadow banning is when you don't know that you are censored / banned since to you it appears that everything is as it should be, but to everyone else you're effectively removed.

It's not "for whatever reason they fancy" either but a matter not enabling extortion, a matter of ethics.

They fancy not enabling extortion. Any ethic is little more than what the expositor wants or wants to see in the world.

It seems I may have been wrong about his reference, in light of this definition.

wow I can find that account with Steemworld but nowhere else.

Ha thats what we need to have done with the big bad wolf then lol
