How Twitter (X) Shadowbans Work
A shadowban is when Twitter secretly hides your content from other people. You can still post, like, and reply normally, but nobody sees what you post. Here are the 4 main types of bans and what they actually do to your account:
2. Suggestion Ban
Twitter stops suggesting your handle in the search dropdown box when people search for your name. It also keeps your tweets off the "For You" feed.
3. Ghost Ban
Your replies on other people's tweets are hidden. You can see your own reply, but nobody else in the thread can see it unless they visit your profile directly.
4. Reply Deboosting
Your replies get pushed all the way to the bottom of the conversation, hidden behind a button that says "Show probable spam" or "Show more replies".
