Bubble ban is also poor verbiage because not appearing in anyone's feed or search results is the default condition not inherently a punishment or redaction.
A search is inherently a selection process and it's perfectly valid to say some content isn't fit to appear anywhere in a listing.
I like reddits choice of "quarantined"
- Jensson 4y ago> I like reddits choice of "quarantined" It isn't the same at all, since Reddit tells you about it and it still shows up in search etc. Shadow quarantined, yeah that works. The word "shadow" comes from not telling the user that anything is different, and Twitter doesn't tell you when this happens, it just delists your posts from everywhere except your followers. Anyway, it is extremely disingenuous to say that Twitter doesn't shadow ban. Consider this scenario: Person A is shadow moderated by Twitter, has a friend B. A replies to B's tweet, but his friend doesn't follow him, they just talk. And now B will never see A's tweet, and A has no idea that B can't see it, and neither do B, both thinks that they can see each other. What is this if not "shadow banned"? Twitter makes these people post things thinking it will be seen, but it wont, wasting their time and potentially hurting their mental health since nobody responds. For all intents and purposes this is "shadow banning", when you hurt people like this but say that you absolutely don't shadow ban you are so dishonest that I'd still call it a lie.
