I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)
That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.
Any suggestions on what I can do with a 12 year old account? I tried using it for the first time in two years to hype local protests.
I am permanently banned from r/politics
High posting karma accounts will get spared. They will axe accounts with comment karma only fairly readily.
they set thier bot/spam filters way much higher than in the past months, in last week people noticed thier accs were getting shadow/ban in large amounts in such sudden and quick succession to.
thats why, it was too new. reddit is very hostile to new accounts, simply thier filters assume people are a potential bot/spammer, if they havnt been on the site that long. thats why people even using some proxies, anti-detect browsers get banned asap. also commenting on a sub, that auto removes your comments, for not having enough "karma or aged account" also flags your account. the question is, is visiting a sub you were previously banned in without commenting, will that also trigger some kind of flag? (i think so), if you notice they already have gone through at least 3 major purges in the last 3 months(of "bots/spammer/evaders) i was on the recieving end of the 3rd one. it was definitely noticable in DEC, as thier were less bots ragebaiting people.
