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.
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.
Meh, you are probably right, but I personally have been banned 3 times from Facebook and by using a VPN and private tabs I still have an active account.
