FWIW, he's been complaining about shadowbanning for at least a week, well before the effects of the DDOS: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/151981022076/is-twitter-shadowb...

I feel like I know Twitter...but I honestly don't know what is meant by shadowbanning in Twitter. If such a concept were to be possible, would it have something to do with Twitter tweaking out Adams' tweets show up for users who have their timelines set to be curated (instead of by timeliness)? This seems like a conspiracy theory that Adams hasn't done much to independently evaluate.



I've been provably shadowbanned by Twitter before so it is something they practice. N/s what happened in his case.



A Twitter shadowban is when they throw knives in your Cheerios.

Doesn't make a lot of sense, but there you go.


Ah, ok. I guess I misunderstood what he wrote.
