TikTok is heavily suppressing and filtering comments/discussions.

My assumption is AI summarizes your comments & reply threads, which then decides to either suppress/hide your comments or not.

The 2 ways TikTok knowingly suppress/filter you from comment discussions is by either

  1. Hiding any notifications for replies made towards your comment
  2. Completely hiding the comment from other users (Not folding or reported, but completely shadow banning your comment)

If you want to see if your comments are being silently filtered, use an alternate account and see if your comment exists, or Go to Settings>Activity Center>Comment History and see if you have replies that were hidden from you!

I think it’s hiding comments for viewing on videos you scroll by as well. I’ve never seen so many videos with no comments

the activity center trick is smart. i noticed comments disappearing but assumed it was the creator deleting them. shadow banning individual comments without any notification is wild

I can't comment on my own account after creating and posting content for a week. Sorry that I didn't know that I couldn't get excited and just started liking and commenting posts on my page. Anyways I appealed it and was denied after a couple minutes. The next day I got an email of instructions on how to report a problem but the instructions were also unclear. I even checked my account and it said there were no outstanding issues. It has been a month. I do not know how to fix this. Can anyone help me pretty please?

This does not surprise me at all. The only TikTok discussions I'm getting right now are about religion and politics. And people are very quick to ban you from the panel. If you say something wrong that they don't agree with.

Yesterday I was on this panel, with some ladies, and they had up a prompt about\n Something that seemed somewhat conservative. So I made a note about something that I was not interested in related to same gender relationships, and that triggered them. It seems like they are just simply on TikTok right now. To bait people using very conservative poster boards in their panels and they're still trying to trigger people into Hot Topic conversations. So what I do is I just leave, and then I block them.
