High risk detected
Signals suggest your reach or account is at risk. Start with the flagged checks below.
Confirmed shadowban — your new posts are not being distributed
Three visibility checks came back positive on this scan: X has stopped indexing your posts from the last week (older ones are still there), your replies are buried behind the 'Show more replies' barrier, and your account no longer surfaces in people search. Your median impressions per post fell 68% over the same window — a reach collapse backed by a direct visibility probe is what suppression looks like from the inside. X never announces this and never tells you why, so the plan below is about removing whatever triggered it and giving the filter time to lift.
Your last scan 3.7 days ago was clean on every visibility probe. Since then search indexing of your new posts stopped, reply deboosting appeared, and your median reach went from 347 to 155 impressions per post. Nothing else in this report changed.
- Read back through your own recent posts and repliesDo now
We checked 87 of your recent posts and replies and found no risk pattern — but that is a sample, and X does not disclose the reason for this restriction. Go through your own recent activity and remove anything you know is repetitive, unsolicited, spam-like or heavily promotional, in manual batches of up to 10, waiting 1–2 days between batches. Do not bulk-delete normal content.
A direct visibility probe is restricted, but X does not say why. A clean content sample narrows what to review; it cannot identify a cause.
- Begin a temporary cooldown after cleanupHold
Once you finish the review, pause posting, liking, replying, reposting, bookmarking, and following or unfollowing for 2–5 days, then re-scan.
A short pause is commonly reported to help direct visibility restrictions cool off, but X does not guarantee it and recovery time varies.
- Review connected app accessDo now
Open X Settings → Security and account access → Apps and sessions. Revoke unknown or unused apps; keep services you recognize.
X holds you responsible for anything an authorized app posts, and an app acting up is one of the few shadowban causes you can rule out yourself in a minute.
Open on X - Come back at roughly half your usual paceHold
After the cooldown, resume at about 1 post a day and 3–5 replies a day for the first week, spaced through the day rather than in bursts. You were averaging 2.4 posts and 8.1 replies a day before this.
Returning at full volume the moment a restriction lifts is the most commonly reported way to land straight back in it.
- Re-scan in 2 daysDo now
Re-run Social Shield after the cooldown. The search-ban probe is the one to watch: it clears as soon as X starts indexing your new posts again.
A shadowban lifting is invisible from inside X — the outside-view probes are the only way to see it happen.
- Don't delete your account or make it private — neither clears a visibility filter, and both cost you the history the next scan compares against.
- Don't run bulk actions or automation tools while you recover.
- Don't post about the shadowban repeatedly or ask for engagement to 'test' it — that adds the exact pattern you're trying to clear.
- Don't buy followers or engagement to compensate for the lost reach.
There is no guaranteed fix for a shadowban. Recovery timelines vary and only the platform knows why visibility changed. These are conservative review steps, not a promised remedy.

Check these accounts manually — if any look like a bot, a follow farmer, or a dead account, we recommend unfollowing them so they don't harm your Xreputation. Don't mass-unfollow, though: 5–10 accounts a day is the maximum — unfollowing in bulk is itself a spam signal.
Shadowban / ghost-ban
One or more shadowban signals are confirmed for @vadym_petryshyn — its reach to non-followers is being filtered. See the flagged checks below.
Your account is public — your profile and posts are reachable by anyone.
X search still returns your older posts, but none of your 5 posts from the last week appear — X has stopped indexing your new posts. Checkers that only test whether search returns anything will miss this. Confirm with the manual search link below.
Your recent reply (to @a_lohan) is still attached to its thread for a logged-out viewer — it is not detached, but see the reply-deboosting result below.
Your recent reply (to @a_lohan) is hidden behind X's 'Show more replies' barrier — the classic reply-deboosting signal. Non-followers won't see it unless they expand hidden replies. Confirm with the manual thread link below.
Your account did not appear in this bounded people-search page. That can happen because results are ranked, especially for small, new, inactive, or recently renamed accounts; it does not confirm an autocomplete restriction. Verify with the manual typeahead link below.
Posting cadence
You're posting ~2.4/day, within Social Shield's heuristic comparison band (2–10/day), not a published platform limit.
Reply cadence
You averaged ~8.1 replies/day over the last seven days, with a 22-reply daily peak. This check found no high-volume or regularity flag; X does not publish a guaranteed safe reply limit.
We hit the reply-fetch cap for this account, so the count above is a lower bound — your real reply volume may be higher.
Follower / following ratio
You follow 287 vs 1,027 followers — a ratio inside this check's positioning band. A ratio snapshot alone does not show follow/unfollow behavior or how X distributes your posts.
Content risk
Nothing in the 60 posts and 74 replies we read comes back as a content-risk pattern — no policy issues, and no sustained spam, templating, or promo blasting. That's a sample of your recent activity, not a review of your whole account.
Based on a sample of your recent activity. X never tells us which posts it acted on, so a clean result here narrows the search rather than ruling content out.
The account does not engage in hateful conduct, harassment, or illegal activity.
The account's engagement and promotional activity are consistent with a founder building in public and do not constitute a spam pattern.
The content reflects personal experiences, specific product updates, and conversational replies rather than mass-produced AI text.
While the account promotes its own SaaS product, it does so in the context of sharing progress, metrics, and relevant advice, which is standard for this niche.
There is no evidence of repetitive, bot-like duplication of content across the corpus.
Account trust signals
Every trust signal you can act on is in place — nothing to do here.
This checklist is read-only for this report. Saved confirmations are shown when available; only the account owner can update them on an active connection. Open a row to see what it means and where to check it.
