Tim Denning, a content creator on LinkedIn, recently shared his experience of being shadowbanned on the platform for the sixth time. Denning, who has been writing online daily for eight years, noticed the issue when one of his posts received only a single impression - a telltale sign of a shadowban.
The post that triggered the automated moderation system contained the phrase "threat of a global recession," which Denning believes was the cause of the ban. He explains that shadowbans can occur rapidly due to machine learning and automation used by major social media platforms to moderate content. Denning emphasizes the importance of being cautious with language choices on these platforms.
While frustrated by the situation, Denning maintains a balanced perspective. He acknowledges the challenges faced by social media companies in content moderation and advises users to diversify their online presence across multiple platforms. Denning also provides tips for dealing with social media bans, including staying calm, reaching out to support teams professionally, and understanding the platform's content guidelines.
