Anyone else think Reddit mods are using shadow bans to limit dissenting opinions? (lemmy.world)

As the title says. I believe Reddit has been using shadow bans to quiet dissenting opinions that aren't inherently breaking TOS.

I was a 14 years long redditor that was more into the arts and graphics and from the time of the IPO, my feed pivoted to much more rage-bait content and subs appearing on my homepage that were completely unknown to me. Definitely some site-wide fuckery going on, that's changed the nature of that beast. Moreso now since they have corporate investors and within the last week or so, a whole bunch of bad reports about the data not being used for AI training as much as they hyped it up. Methinks they're pivoting to the right in order to appease their investors..
