A user will be notified via PM from the subreddit that they have been muted.

is that really necessary? seems like it might be more effective to just let them shout into the void.

yeah, like shadowbanning, thats universally loved

i was under the impression it was the application of shadowbanning that was loathed moreso than its actual function. it would make sense to me if someone's being a turd and you want them to shut up, telling them you're banning them so they can immediately make a new account and keep being a turd isn't a very good idea.

in that specific case, it does suck that it was the result of an error. but if he had been a spammer/troll/harassing people/one of the things that would have justified a ban, then it worked - he spent 10 months using an account that couldn't cause problems for everyone else, rather than getting a ban notice and saying "welp, time to start a new account and resume business as usual!"

thats the thing, it was designed for spammers but is used for EVERYONE ELSE

Shadowbanning does nothing to spammers anymore. They've learned how it works. They regularly check for it and switch accounts if and when shadowbanned.

Shadowbanning has turned into a tool to silence dissent and nothing more.

silence dissent

that sounds overly dramatic.

I do not intend rhetorical flourish. Every word in my comment was used per its primary connotation.

Haha. No.

While shadowbanning is a poor tool for dealing with non-spammers, and I do hope reddit develops a better one, you are deluding yourself if you think shadowbanning does nothing to stop spammers (though it's hardly perfect). Most spammers are pretty effectively dealt with using AutoMod; there are quite a few, though, that have learned to just make a new account for each new spammy post (...which tends to eventually get the domain itself banned).

Can you clarify what you mean? Not notify them at all and just silently discard their messages?
