Heaven Banning

Actual trolls should be able to spot this fairly quick as they often have multiple accounts and interact with their alternate personas. I would expect this to mostly silence wrong-think. e.g. anything not aligned with the group&#x2F;tribe narrative. Another variation of this is echo-chamber [1]. The difference is creating a self contained echo chamber and the person leaving a comment will never see comments from real people.<p>[1] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tessalt&#x2F;echo-chamber-js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tessalt&#x2F;echo-chamber-js</a>

Reddit lets moderators hide your comments if they don&#x27;t contribute to the conversation without letting you know. Not exactly a ShadowBan<p>It&#x27;s all about the moderator though; over the years I have very little (no interaction) with the admins ever. Doesn&#x27;t matter if you write to them; you still won&#x27;t get a response.<p>Which is why imo Reddit is toxic a.f... Volunteer Moderators

Note: This is a fictional article, obviously. My apologies to NYT. Nonetheless, I consider something like this to be an inevitability.<p>I would not be surprised if it were already occurring somewhere. Perhaps the title should have informed people this is fiction, but I think that ruins some of the effect<p>I hope I am not breaking any rules. And if I am, well, you know what to do now, don&#x27;t you?

This is seriously fucked up. Like just ban or restrict people. Why waste their time?
