Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.
If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.
Nah man it's completely different when society regulates itself through transparent rules vs opaque ones. It's more organized and self balancing.
It will but a shadow ban plays perfectly into their conspiratorial victim complex
