Shadow ordering is a variant of shadowban. Instead of hiding your posts completely, a social media platform will send them to the ends of lists where few are likely to see them. At the same time, they lie to you: tricking you into thinking your posts are doing better than they are.
For instance, when you leave a reply on Twitter and then look at the reply page, your reply will be right at the top. However, if you then look at the same page while logged in to another account, you might need to scroll page after page to see your reply.
In some cases, you might need to click 'Show more replies' to find your reply. Twitter calls tweets after that link 'LowQuality'. They have a second 'AbusiveQuality' section even further down.
Only in rare cases does any of this make sense. Twitter usually elevates low-content replies while suppressing higher-quality content. Their ranking is based more on popularity, the number of people who block you, a desire to protect verified users from dissent, etc. Only in some cases is this based on ideology: in the USA, both liberals and conservatives are heavily impacted by shadow ordering.

"Look, my reply to the GOP is at the top of the list!"
"Uh, no. I'm logged in to my account and I had to scroll 20 pages to see your tweet. They tricked you using shadow ordering."

Get the Ordering Take Out mug.One faithful night, a young kid from New Jersey named Chris Dorner was playing Jedi Fallen Order. All was going well until he got to the last level of the game. He was fighting the Second Sister when he started to get a little angry. He started yelling and screaming and said "FUCK THIS BITCH!!!!!" to a bunch of pixels that were kicking his ass. Papa Dorner came in and said, "CHRIS!" and there was the sound of Chris disconnecting from the discord call. It was a sight to bold and Chris Dorner is a bitch.
