I kinda really hate that Eugen is making his favorite activity of censoring people on Fedi, easier for other admins to join in as well...🤬

It's unethical Admin behavior, in my opinion, to shadow-ban.I think I'll put a note about this in the "About" section for my instance to describe that Admins and moderators here are forbidden to shadow-ban (limit, silence) any account without notification to the account owner, a policy people should be aware that is not in effect on all instances.
Trust must work both ways to have an open working Fediverse.
I guess my only exception is that Threads accounts are all initially limited by default, and the limit is lifted on a per-Threads-account basis. But, this policy is made clear in my About section as well.

@Jerry @BeAware I would add an exception for data scraping users. They aren't contributing to the #fediverse and don't need notice.

@BeAware is there a way to detect a shadow ban?

@Sibshops nope...and that's the big issue.
Only if you own your own instance and the entire instance is limited and not a single user.
Single users cannot see moderation actions against their account unless it's a suspension by the instance you reside. In which case you obviously wouldn't be able to use your account anymore.
This is much more malicious. It's like if your friends and family are dying, but your ability to speak out against it has to go through one person who says "fuck your family and friends" and stuffs a rag in your mouth.

@BeAware how about if you make anoher account on the same or other instance?
Maybe there is a way to detect it that way.

@Sibshops you can detect it if the specific instance that silenced you, has their search public. Then you go to the instance you suspect silenced you and search for yourself.
Then when you click the profile, it will say "moderators of this instance have silenced this account, do you want to view it anyway?"
But then you have to have a clue that you've been silenced on a specific instance.
Silences aren't federated, but .social is big enough that they have a majority of Fedi users at this point.
