Shadowban

Reduced distribution of a user's tweets without explicit notification, typically triggered by automated policy enforcement.

In depth

A shadowbanned account can still post normally, but the algorithm suppresses reach: tweets get fewer impressions, replies don't appear in conversation trees for non-followers, and the account may not surface in search.

Shadowbans usually trigger from rapid-fire behavior (excessive following, mass-replying), spam-pattern detection, or repeated terms-of-service violations. They typically auto-lift after 24–48 hours of normal use, but persistent issues require an appeal.

AutoTweet's smart-scheduling jitter and frequency caps are designed to keep posting behavior inside X's normal-user envelope.

Now put it to work

AutoTweet generates and schedules X content tuned for the algorithm — the same one this glossary just explained.
