They're also blocking posts by users who aren't banned or even got a warning. It appears to the user as though it's been posted, but it hasn't.

shadowbanning is a totally different issue that's existed for a long time though.

They’ve done this for a long time. It’s supposedly only supposed to be used on bots but it definitely isn’t in practice
