So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.
I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)
its AI moderated, so they use othr things like browser fingerprinting, “bot-like behaviour, if you are just scrolling ad not engaging or posting, or posting too often”, also other things like recognizing your device and thier components time zone, version of your browser. also its overly sensitive. they also look back if your ip/device created any old accounts even if they are dormant for many years. since REDDIT went public they dont want too many people using the site, as much as just scrolling it.
Also to add musk has significant impact on when purges happen, because SPEz loves him.
