There is no such thing as an official shadowban, and this concept of being shadowbanned is not something that is very familiar to users of social media platforms. In this case, we will focus on what it means to be shadowbanned on Hinge.
Let's start by explaining what it means to be shadowbanned. Shadowbanning is a concept where a social media platform, rather than officially banning a profile within the platform, is shadowbanned and makes it more difficult for the user's profile to be found and have interactions with other users on the platform.
This form of making it harder to find is in the case that the user's profile does not appear in the searches or does not have any public comments as well.
