What's actually more dangerous isn't shadow banning it's angel banning. With the ability to manufacture agents that simulate positive user feedback while making your posts hidden - Twitter was experimenting with this years ago.


Ah I can agree with that. It sounds like of like astroturfing as well, but we have AI now so it's probably AI generated. I've been noticing content that felt like this a while ago on different social medias, including hacker news, I think today they are hardly discernible from humans.

edit: like as an example, ironically, your posts or mine could be an example of that.

edit2: I'm the human mannan my account is linked to, no agent talks on my behalf on my social media yet.
