It sure beats the Reddit system where you think you are interacting with people, only to find out a couple of days later that your fresh account is shadow-banned and nobody is seeing your comments and that none of your likes went through.
At least Facebook tells you that you are banned.
Tip: You can always tell if you are banned on Reddit by accessing the shadowban appeal page which is only visible if you are shadowbanned yourself:

No, FB has their own shadowban system
Reddit and HN.
I wasn't aware HN had it, but considering the number of [flagged] by people who work for big tech I'm sure some people actually posting truthful things have ended up on the shadowban list
Since when does HN have shadowbans?
since almost forever, that's what the "show dead" toggle in your profile settings is for - it shows the dead posts from shadow banned people
