Can you tell if you're shadow banned and no one can see your posts?
Good question…so far I got “likes” from likeminded folk. Not sure how I would be able to know?
Challenge the ban. This whole thing was never going to happen overnight. And Elon claims to be a free speech absolutist but I give that a 0.001% chance of actually being true.

Some of the Twitter rules I'm sure they have to enforce for legal reasons. Like, you can't threaten people with physical harm, shit like that. You can't legit call for terrorism.
Just like I can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater apparently.
So I'm not sure what you mean by "absolutist" exactly, but it's probably worth defining for the purposes of this discussion.
My definition of "absolute free speech" for the purposes of this conversation is simply saying shit that may or may not be offensive, but that also doesn't put someone in danger.. like doxxing people and shit like that.
What I will say is that nothing I tweeted puts anyone in danger in any way. It's offensive at worst. Which, for me, is exactly what I'm testing. Am I allowed to say offensive shit to people which doesn't put them in any physical danger? That's the question.
And they already put me in jail.
Now, granted, I'm unsure how much control Elon really could have after less than a week at the helm.
So I'm not complaining so much..yet. Just testing the boundaries.
You might have just gotten enough reports to where an automod kicked in and did something. Send a message and see what happens
You may be 'corralled' which is a form of selective shadow banning where only like minded people see your posts.There is a website called something like 'Am I shadowbanned?' which will reveal the layers of censorship, but twitter may have subverted that by now.
