For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

    Lemmy lacking moderation notifications in the UI or email notification backend doesn’t make it a shadowban, if they were absent from the modlog and didn’t put the banned flag on your profile then that would be a shadowban. They didn’t make an attempt to hide it from you, the communication methods are just very poor right now, there is a reason why Lemmy is on version 0.19.3 or 0.19.8 for the later instances, this is still considered alpha software, it’s not finished. The jank is to be expected for a software in its infancy.

      I mean, I was saying what it seems like, not what it is. The user unfriendliness leads to confusion. And yes I understand software takes time, development is what I do for a living. I was just saying it’s reasonable to feel like you have been shadowbanned given the circumstances
