Some nurse was asking how to avoid work in the work reform instance, and I guess people have plenty of reasons why this is OK…

Whenever I try to post, comment or even up or downvote, it just is a spinning circle

Is this a shadow ban?

I’ve since blocked the instance, nothing productive is coming out of there…

It would just have been nice to get a message telling me to fuck off.

Is this how mods handle things now?

No direct communication, just passive aggressive behavior?

    You’re just regular banned. I’m not sure shadow banning is possible on lemmy. The difference is shadow bans are hard to detect, they website functions the same to you, your comments and posts get sent, you see them, but no one else does. Banning is more straightforward and you just can’t do anything.
