No platform tells you you've been shadowbanned.
They just quietly stop showing your posts. No notification, no warning — your replies get buried, your handle stops surfacing in search, and your reach falls off a cliff.
Invisible throttling
No platform tells you when it dials down your reach. One week your posts land, the next they vanish — with zero notification.
Reply & follow limits
Very high reply or follow activity can resemble spam. We measure the pace and show the evidence without claiming it caused a restriction.
Repetition & automation flags
Duplicate hooks, copy-paste replies, and aggressive scheduling are measurable spam-like patterns — even when you're just trying to stay consistent.
Reach falls off a cliff
By the time you feel the drop in impressions and replies, you've usually been filtered for days. The warning always comes too late.
Eight things put your account at risk. We read all of them.
Eight measurable restriction-risk checks for X, Threads and Bluesky — explained in plain language, rolled into one verdict, and ranked by what to review first. No analytics soup, no invented score.
Shadowban & ghost-ban signals
On X, every outsider-view probe from our free test: search ban, ghost ban, search-suggestion ban, reply deboosting. On Threads, profile visibility and people search from a logged-out view, plus two checks only you can run yourself — Threads lets nobody enumerate replies from the outside, so we hand those to you instead of guessing. On Bluesky the protocol exposes no shadowban signals at all, so the block is marked not applicable rather than scored clean.
Posting cadence
How often you post vs the healthy band for your niche. We flag burst posting and always-on volume as automation-like patterns, not proof of enforcement.
Reply cadence
How heavily you reply to other accounts. The scan flags unusually high volume and rolling-day peaks that resemble reply farming.
Follower/following ratio
A following that dwarfs your followers is a classic follow-spam pattern. We show the ratio as a risk signal, not as proof a platform penalized it.
Content risk
Your own recent posts and replies, reviewed for restriction-risk patterns: spam-like behavior, near-duplicate content, rule-breaking, and relentless promotion.
Reach
How far your recent posts actually travelled against your own baseline. Filtering shows up here first — as a drop you can measure, before you can feel it.
Growth velocity
Your follower and following movement across scans — follow/unfollow churn, sudden drops, aggressive following pace.
Suspicious follows
On X, the following check ranks the accounts you follow by follower-to-following ratio — worst first — and audits as many as you choose, up to your whole list: a liveness check for dead accounts (nothing posted in over a month) plus a restriction probe for bots and follow farmers. Everything it finds lands on a permanent, saved following list where you can trust good accounts, track unfollows, and re-check only what's new since your last full pass.
Account trust signals+ checklist
The hardening checklist: connected-apps audit, confirmed phone, two-factor, ID verification, paid verification, account age — each with a one-click link into the exact setting on your platform.
There's no unban button. There is a fastest honest way out.
Anyone selling a “guaranteed unban” is selling smoke. Review the measured risk patterns, change what the evidence supports, harden your account, and give a direct restriction time to clear.
Review the flagged signals
The scan shows which checks need attention and the evidence behind them — for example, unusually high reply volume or near-duplicate posts. These patterns may contribute; only the platform knows the cause.
Fix first things first
Flagged checks are ranked worst-first into a do-this-next list, each with the specific behavior to change. The trust checklist links you straight into the right settings — revoke suspicious connected apps, confirm your phone, turn on two-factor.
Let it cool off, then re-scan
Recovery time varies and only the platform controls it. For a direct live restriction, a temporary cooldown is community-reported guidance, not a guarantee. Then re-scan to see whether the measured signals cleared.
One scan tells you where you stand. A rhythm keeps you safe.
Every scan is saved. Growth-velocity checks compare each scan against your own history — catching follower churn, sudden drops, and aggressive following pace that a single snapshot can't see. Ship a fix, re-scan, watch the signal clear.

Shadowban Deep Scan reads your account
Eight risk checks on your recent activity — shadowban signals, posting cadence, reply volume, follow ratio, content risk, reach, growth velocity, suspicious follows — plus the trust checklist. Takes a minute or two.
Get your verdict and fix list
A plain-language verdict per check, the flagged ones ranked into a what-to-fix-first list, and one-click links into the exact settings to close trust gaps. On Threads the report also hands you the two checks only you can run yourself, with exact instructions.
What Shadowban Deep Scan can — and can't — do.
We'd rather keep your trust than oversell. Here's the honest line.
What Shadowban Deep Scan does
- Runs eight checks on measurable restriction-risk patterns
- Works on X, Threads and Bluesky — same scan, same price
- Explains every verdict in plain language
- Ranks flagged checks into a what-to-fix-first list
- Links you into the exact settings to close trust gaps
- Tracks your growth velocity scan over scan
What it won't do
- Sell you a “guaranteed unban” — nobody honest can
- Promise you'll never get suspended
- Override a platform's decision
- Claim a shadowban probe where the platform exposes none — on Bluesky that block is marked not applicable, never scored clean
- Pretend to see your Threads replies from the outside — nobody can, so the report hands that check to you
- Replace good judgment about what you post
Shadowban Deep Scan helps you reduce controllable risk and organize recovery steps. It cannot prove a cause or change the platform's final decision.
One scan, or all of them.
Deep scans come with every plan and cost 30 AI credits each, out of the same pool as everything else — no separate scan allowance to ration. Start with a 3-day free trial, which covers one. Same on X, Threads and Bluesky.

Shadowban Deep Scan FAQ
How do I get rid of a shadowban on Twitter?
There's no unban button, and anyone selling one is selling smoke. Shadowban Deep Scan compares recent activity, reach, and account history with known restriction-risk patterns. It shows which checks are flagged, the evidence behind each, and what to review first. These signals may identify contributing factors; only the platform knows why it limited an account.
How long does a Twitter shadowban last?
X publishes no fixed shadowban timetable. Community reports often describe a few days, but restrictions can last longer and only X controls the outcome. Review the measured signals, use a temporary cooldown only for a direct live restriction, and re-scan before ramping activity back up.
Why does Twitter keep shadowbanning me?
Repeated restrictions can coincide with patterns such as unusually high reply volume, near-duplicate posts, or aggressive following pace. A deep scan shows which measurable patterns are present and what to review; only X knows the actual enforcement cause.
Can you fix a shadow ban?
You can change measured risk patterns and harden your account, but you can't override X or prove which one caused enforcement. Review flagged behavior, connected apps, phone recovery, and two-factor settings, then re-scan to see what changed.
Should I keep posting if I'm shadowbanned?
It depends on the evidence. A cadence, content, reach, proxy-only, or inconclusive warning is not a reason to stop all activity. For a direct live visibility restriction, Social Shield may suggest a temporary 2–5 day cooldown after review; that is community-reported guidance, not an X guarantee. After the window, resume gradually rather than restarting the pause or returning to full volume.
Is a shadowban a permanent ban?
A visibility restriction is different from a suspension: the account may still work while public discovery or reply visibility is reduced. X publishes no guaranteed duration or recovery outcome, so re-test the public signals instead of assuming a timer cleared them.
Does a shadow ban go away?
They can clear, but X publishes no guaranteed duration or remedy. Review measurable risk patterns, use conservative recovery steps for a direct restriction, and re-scan to see whether public visibility changed rather than guessing why.
How is this different from the free shadowban test?
The free test checks current public visibility. A Deep Scan adds connected-account activity, reach, and history to surface possible contributing factors and recovery steps. It cannot prove why a platform acted; only the platform knows that. Try the free shadowban test.
Is it safe to connect my account?
Yes. You connect through the platform's OAuth flow, and we never see or store your password. The scan uses official platform APIs and protocols where available. Some X and Threads public-visibility checks use third-party providers to read public, logged-out data; those providers do not receive your OAuth token. You can disconnect at any time.
Which platforms does it support?
X (Twitter), Threads and Bluesky. Every account gets the same eight risk checks and the same trust checklist — what differs is how deep each block can go, and that's set by what each platform exposes, not by us. On X we run real probes: search ban, ghost ban, search-suggestion ban and reply deboosting — and the suspicious-follows check reviews who you follow the same way. On Threads we probe profile visibility and people search from a logged-out view, then hand you the two checks only you can run yourself — whether your replies show for a second account, and what Settings → Account Status says. Threads gives nobody a way to enumerate replies from the outside, so we say that plainly instead of returning a clean result we can't stand behind. On Bluesky the protocol exposes no shadowban signals at all, so the shadowban and suspicious-follows blocks are marked not applicable and the other six still run. The price is the same everywhere: included from the Creator plan up.
Do I need to pay to use Shadowban Deep Scan?
Deep scans come with a plan and cost 30 AI credits each, drawn from the plan's one pool — Creator includes 800 credits a month, Pro 3,000, Max 15,000, and the same credits also cover posts, audits and shadowban checks. Eligible new customers start with a 3-day free trial that includes 100 credits on any plan, enough for a scan, and can cancel anytime. Same on X, Threads and Bluesky. The one-shot shadowban test stays free for everyone, no account needed. See plans and pricing.
