People keep calling the 'shadowban' on my local news page a glitch, but I have the screenshots
My town's Facebook page for road closures got its reach cut by 90% after posting about a protest at city hall. The admin showed me the backend numbers. For three weeks, our posts just stopped showing up in feeds unless you searched the exact name. That's not a bug, it's a choice by the platform. Has anyone else seen a local info page get hit like this for posting event details?

Yeah, our neighborhood watch group page got the same treatment last fall. We posted the dates for a community meeting about that new development. Engagement just died overnight. The page admin ran a test and our posts were only being seen by like 2% of our followers. It's definitely a pattern, not a random error.

My buddy runs a local food truck page and their reach tanked for a month after they posted their weekly schedule. It came back on its own, no changes made. Sometimes the algorithm just goes weird.
