Am I shadowbanned on Twitter?

To find out if you are shadowbanned on Twitter, type your username into the search box above. The test immediately checks Twitter search, autocomplete suggestions, and reply threads. If your tweets do not appear when searching for your handle, or your replies are hidden at the bottom of conversations, your account is shadowbanned.

How do I do a shadowban check on Twitter?

Enter any Twitter/X handle into FSB Sentinel and click Inspect. In a few seconds, the tool runs four live tests: Search Ban, Suggestion Ban, Ghost Ban, and Reply Deboosting, giving you an exact, verified result.

What are the 4 types of Twitter shadowbans?

The four main types are: 1. Search Ban (tweets completely blocked from search results). 2. Suggestion Ban (handle hidden from search suggestions and the For You feed). 3. Ghost Ban (replies hidden from everyone in a thread). 4. Reply Deboosting (replies pushed behind a 'Show more replies' button).

How do I fix a Twitter shadowban?

To fix a Twitter shadowban: 1. Stop posting links to outside websites for at least 3 days. 2. Remove old or automated apps in Twitter Settings > Security and access > Apps and sessions. 3. Take a 3-day break from posting so Twitter's automated penalty score resets.

How long does a Twitter shadowban last?

Most mild shadowbans (such as reply deboosting or suggestion filters) clear on their own in 24 to 72 hours if you stop spamming. Severe bans caused by multiple user reports can take 5 to 7 days of complete posting inactivity to lift.

Is this Twitter shadowban checker free?

Yes, FSB Sentinel is 100% free with no account or password required. A few small, closable ads help cover server costs. You can test any public Twitter handle as often as you like.

How does FSB Sentinel check for a Twitter/X shadowban?

FSB runs four separate live tests from a logged-out point of view, exactly how the public and the algorithm see an account: whether posts appear in search (Search Ban), whether the handle appears in search suggestions (Suggestion Ban), whether replies stay visible inside threads (Ghost Ban) and whether replies are pushed behind "show more replies" (Reply Deboosting). Each test is scored independently, so you see exactly which restriction is active instead of a single vague verdict.

Where does FSB get its data?

FSB combines several independent public sources: X's own public web data for profiles, timelines and official engagement counts, plus open-source embed services such as FixTweet and vxTwitter as cross-checks and fallbacks. No source is trusted blindly. Every value is compared across sources, official counts take priority over third-party copies, and a failed or partial response never overwrites data that was already confirmed.

Why is FSB data more reliable than other shadowban checkers?

Most checkers run one request and show whatever comes back, so a single hiccup on X turns into a false shadowban. FSB treats every result as confirmed, clear or unknown, re-tests any new restriction before publishing it, keeps the last confirmed state when X is unstable and never reports a search ban that X's own SafeSearch filters would cause anyway. Profiles are re-checked automatically every day, post statistics are rebuilt from the full timeline rather than a small sample, and the whole system is monitored live on a public status page.
