Reddit is a pile of shit. On my account, where I've said nothing offensive, they banned me from /r/news. What the fuck? I was careful with that account. I didn't say anything racist, or sexist. I didn't support Trump. Yet they found a reason to ban me. The insanity! I deleted my account. Fuck 'em.

Here's my situation:

  • I originally got shadowbanned from making new accounts, because I made about 50 accounts in 2 days. I'm marked as spam.

  • Any new accounts I make are shadowbanned unless I use a VPN. If I use a free public VPN, I've had some luck, but if I use my own personal VPN, they mostly all get banned after a few days. Sometimes they get restored when I put in a ticket and sometimes not.

  • Had about 30-100 accounts all perma supsended site wide for getting around a ban on a sub and getting banned again without the vpn.

  • On my phone, which I've never had anything banned from and never used on my shadowbanned IP, I'm still getting shadowbanned on accounts I made. On some accounts, the mods will restore the account, but otherwise, they are marked as spam.

  • I also got my hotspot somehow shadowbanned, even though I've only used it on the phone(which I talked about above), and haven't been banned on it.

  • My first ever reddit account, which I've said the worst stuff on, I'm still allowed to post from. This is on the same IP as the other account I had 100+ account bans from.

I'm really kind of lost at this point on what to do aside from giving up or maybe making accounts at the library/Starbucks or something.

so if you browse the same kind of sites on your device, then you'll pick up the same kind of cookies.

So use brave or another privacy browser for your 'clean' reddit and use that browser for nothing else.
