I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.

    Same… Banned my account of nearly 20 years. Still to this day no reason or email why. Then every account I made was banned presumably because I used alias emails on a VPN.

    So I find myself here.

      Me too. 14 year account and it never bothered me much because it’s like being banned from a dumpster fire.

      I’m wondering how driving out users will assist their bottom line? Particularly those of us who were providing content that they can sell. 90% of Reddit accounts are bots and lurkers.
