1/ Has anyone looked into shadow banning, empirically? Twitter denies it as an explicit practice. But, that seems nonsensical. It seems like it would be part of any feed algorithm designed to attenuate abuse. (Although, their abuse interventions have been...weak.)
2/ Say you're interacting across densely-connected communities. Your interaction results in 30 rounds of back and forth name calling and an abuse report. Twitter optimizes for interactions; but, wouldn't they (hopefully) minimize abuse? If so, wouldn't shadow banning emerge?

3/ Really, I'm okay with shrinking the surface exploited by parasites like Prison Paul. But, I have this fuzzy-but-well-informed idea in my head that any non-chronological timeline *provably* results in both privileged accounts and shadow-banned ones.
