They're also blocking posts by users who aren't banned or even got a warning. It appears to the user as though it's been posted, but it hasn't.

shadowbanning is a totally different issue that's existed for a long time though.

Shadowbanning? Do you have more info on this?

They’ve done this for a long time. It’s supposedly only supposed to be used on bots but it definitely isn’t in practice

It definitely is in practice 100%

I didn't know there was a name for it, I don't have anymore info on it, but I can show examples of it happening.
