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.

    That’s about the least egregious part of it all, but noted. I’m still going to refer to it as shadow banning, because it makes no difference to me that it’s technically a misgiving of the Lemmy platform.

      Sure but your argument loses credence and is also confusing since most people have something more egregious and underhanded when talking about shadow bans. You’re being deliberately misleading in order to hurt the reputation of said admins more.
