Why do websites shadowban people giving them the illusion their posts are being seen when they're not?

@Resurrection2021

Let's say the person is pretending to have a mental disability..Oh cross that out, since we're imagining things anyway here, let's say the person is an alien and has a long tail which he uses to type in social media.

@Miram I think he's trying to say that not everyone who breaks a rule is doing it purposely or maliciously.

@SinlessOnslaught

As far as I know, it takes several warning before being shadow banned. They know that they are breaking the TOS before.

And since it's private service, it is up to them.

As to saying they are mentally disabled, I think people should stop using mental illnesses as an excuse to do shit things.

@Resurrection2021

That sounds like very biased and one sided reasoning because she was your friend.

@Miram Eh good points.

@Miram Also I agree it drives me crazy when people use mental illness as an excuse for stuff. I literally have psychosis and I cringe whenever someone describes a criminal or a horrible person as "psychotic".

@SinlessOnslaught yeah, it adds to the stigma. Us mentally ill peeps are capable of drawing sound judgement and being responsible for our decisions. It's up to a professional to decide otherwise not randoms.

It's people who have no mental disabilities nor illnesses who make up most of the criminal population

@Miram Exactly. And I can't tell people that I'm mentally ill without being made fun of for it, or just ignored and ostracized, but whenever I mention that, people are like, "Oh stop being such a sensitive snowflake. EVERYTHING is offensive these days".
