So I deleted my 5yo Reddit account and migrate to Fediverse, but then I decided to recreate a new Reddit account just to follow some communities that are only popular there.
I’ve been trying to create a few accounts and I’m shadow banned in all of them.
I’ve tried two factor authentication, phone number and verify e-mail, it doesn’t matter, Reddit keeps shadow banning my account.
Every time I comment somewhere my comment isn’t showed, only for me, I open it in a private tab then I don’t see the comment. All my posts says “Removed by Reddit filters” no matter what I write on it, tried posting several times.
They’re making it impossible for legit new users to interact there.
Reddit is just porn and bots.
And pornbots!
I can’t wait for the inevitable bot-porn.
Yeah I tried making an account a while ago to post on /r/bushcraft and just got shadowbanned for it.
Well, yes, you correctly described Reddit.
Unplug your ISP modem for 30 min or so and reset the IP. may have to call them, or force your router/gateway to reset it also. New IP, new identity!
They’re going the way of Facebook. Facebook has been “1 account per person” for a while and if you somehow get screwed on your account there’s nowhere to appeal and no way to start over. They do tons of fingerprinting and even do facial matching across accounts to detect duplicate accounts.
This is just another nail in Reddit’s coffin and descent into irrelevance.
Using the official app (🤮) is the only way I think.
I did just fine on Infinity. It’s one of the few third party apps remaining.
Yep; same issue here. Does my absolute nut in. If you use a VPN or a cellular connection on a brand new Reddit account, it’s already doomed.
Reddit stinks.
I got banned for 3 days for saying the US Republican governments have been fucking up the economy so nobody can revolt without risking their livelihood.
Banned for 3 days for"harassment".
First time it’s ever happened. I guess interacting with fashion subreddits and AmITheAsshole is all they want us to do.
I was randomly shadowbanned a few days ago. No idea why. I only visited fandom and gaming subs. Got along with everyone. It just seems like they don’t want real users anymore. 🤷🏻♂️
At least now I’m back here and maybe it’ll be the final push to leave that website.
Eventually, won’t it be just bots on there? Dead internet theory prevails again.
Kind of sucks. There’s really no other way for me to socialize.
Outside?
I can’t. Am disabled.
