EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
I tried to post about Lemmy this morning in a 160k people sub : it’s sitting at two like and i can post and engage elsewhere without consequences. I don’t think they shadowbanned me but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people. It was a polite post and i am used to way, way more engagement, especially on the weekends.
That's shadowbanning, fyi
