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.
And it’s in line with how the site started off in the first year or so of it existing. The surviving founder has openly admitted to using tons of sock puppet accounts to make the appearance of activity until they attracted enough real users to keep the content flowing.
