Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    The original use case for Shadow banning was bots I think. To them it looks like they’re comments are still being posted, but everyone else it’s invisible.

      given how that was such a dismal failure, I’m pessimistic about the future of the fediverse and its battle against bots

      Which makes sense, I imagine if I was shadow banned i would realize pretty quick. But it’s not easy to have a bot realize they are shadow banned
