What Is Shadowbanning? 

Shadowbanning is the act of suppressing your posts on your social media handle. Preventing your posts to reach your target audience. Shadowbans don’t come with notice from the social media platform on why your posts are hidden or banned. When your posts are shadowbanned, they become invisible to everyone. You are the only person left to view your posts.

How to Avoid Getting Shadowbanned?

Twitter lists these as some of the factors they use to tell if you’re a “bad-faith actor” or not:

• Whether or not you’ve confirmed your email address

• Whether you’ve uploaded a profile picture

• How recently your account was created

• Who you follow and retweet

• Who mutes, follows, retweets, and blocks you

To avoid getting shadowbanned on Twitter, you should confirm your email address and upload a profile picture.

Don’t spam people and don’t be overly promotional. If you’re trying to sell a product or service and are posting too much, other users might block your content, causing a shadowban on your account.

You should also try to avoid trolling, getting into online arguments, or being too confrontational in your posts and comments. This can lead people to mute or block you.
