That shadowbanning definition was cringe. No one took it seriously. Including the guys who were "impacted" by it.

As I recall the story:

1) Primal comes out with a primitive Trending algo (v1) to offer new ways for Discovery on nostr

2) Semisol & Ralf find way to game it. And they game it ad absurdum. Effectivel trolling and taking a piss at Primal's first attempt at Discovery service.

3) Primal manually excludes them from the Trending eligibility. (~ primitive v2l

4) Semisol & Ralf start screaming "shadowbanning".

5) More people start screaming.

6) Primal publicly confirms "Yes, we've manually excluded them".
