MODERATORS
It's not about making the user leave, because of they know they are banned they'll try to evade. Shadow banning gives the desired effect while not tipping off the user. So they post away, to nobody.
A lot of the answers in this thread are things Reddit did to address specific problems that they encountered as the user base grew. Lemmy doesn't have to make the same decisions, but it will inevitably encounter those same problems.
