FYI, I think your tweet must be hidden if the user is logged out. I'm logged in, and can see your tweet in the replies just fine. Still not shadowingbanning.

  You're mistaken. I tweeted twice, once with the .win link, once without. The one with the .win link does not appear even when logged in as a different username. It does appear for me when I'm logged in as the same username. So there is shadow moderation going on. I'm not so bothered about whether it's called a shadow ban or shadow moderation. Also, I can see why some former Twitter employees want this distinction to be understood given the post they previously put out. I just think that's a hard sell for the public who is just coming to understand this issue. Even I didn't know about Twitter's 2018 post. Finally, there was already substantial dispute over whether or not Twitter's initial claims were accurate.
