I tried to browse reddit again after years. It's just an insufferable soy-soaked circle jerk...

Yea, you'll need a covert login to check if your posts actually are visible.

It is not only at Reddit, I appended a comment onto a YT video from the loser all done up in a white ghost suit who has been bombarding this sub recently Forbidden History // Darwin’s Hoax of "Evolution", directing his attention to the Human Remains on Planet Mars which refute Charles Darwin's Descent of Man, Adam & Eve and the contention man descended from Ethiopian ape brutes all at once .. the reply disappeared without trace from his page and from my YouTube comment history.

Yeah, it started a few days ago. It's easy enough to check though right now.
Just log out of your account and check if your comment is there. It won't be.
What's fucky is that they link it with either IP or Cookies and even if you create a new account it will be automatically ghosted too.
I swapped VPNs and used an incognito tab and it worked for me the next time.

ELI5. How's this different from normal shadowbans that's been used for several years now?

interesting so not an outright ban. this will keep people from looking for reddit alternatives most likely since they can still interact with other ghosts. I wonder if they'll bring back any of their banned subreddits and just leave them ghosted

It's a shadowban and they've been doing it for years. Not sure why this is presented as new information. Maybe they've made some refinement in it that I am not grasping.

I thought in a shadowban nobody could see your comments except for you? I don't know how it all works, I left before that shit started.
