I mean I get it. No one needs to tell you shit.

But why is this used instead of perma banning?

I’m curious.

Thoughts?

    It’s most probably because they don’t want the user count to drop.

    Also, if someone is shadow banned, they’re still actively browsing and reading articles and clicking links, so could be other reasons to keep them around too.

    Shadow banning is completely shit, I agree. It’s very malicious.
