If this happens to someone depressed or suicidal it would drastically affect their mental health trying to interact with people and being constantly ignored.

You don't need shadow bans for that. Just let others know that you've got a mental health related diagnosis and boom, no-one listens to you even if they can hear you, and they will also look straight through you.

I do agree shadow bans are a bad idea. Feels a bit too reddit.

Also quite disruptive that it removes all old posts as well.

Better to just use the good old fashioned ban in my opinion if it is going to be done.

In my honest opinion, I'll be perfectly honest with you here... shadow banning is not as bad as it sounds as long as the person shadowbanned is a person I hold a grudge against.

The only sadbrains we have here are the sort of people who will whine endlessly about their condition while also drinking heavily and being unemployed. You know the types. Like women, they don't want help, they want pity.

DU seems to be deathly afraid of "retribution" from the schizos if he bans them.

I'm terrified of Giant Spiders. Especially Generic ones.

Must be tough living in Australia if you don't like spiders.
