Granted that visibility should not be a claimed right, the basic difference is that Nostr offers a basic feed (the fake “Global”) that is so chaotic that it is used by few to discover new content. I think the solution is to create one's own circle and with that go and merge with other micro groups, thereby growing the social graph. And at the same time enhance the discoverability of content through search and thematic structures. Shadowbanning does not seem to me at all the correct term for the current situation.

It's the correct term, when done in a coordinated, intentional manner. Even when I'm recommended as additions to the lists and etc. (which happens not infrequently), they just ignore the recommendations or explain that I'm not the sort of person who should be on the list.
Who is "the correct sort of person"?
Anyone but me.
Anyone but me is the correct sort of person.
Okay, that's fine, but that just means the client isn't intended for use by anyone who wouldn't think I was an incorrect person. I'm a litmus test. Perhaps they should write that in their advertisements:
This client is not intended for use by anyone who might be tempted to read something written by Silberengel.
