godamm i don't want to use vpns unless i have to , godamm shadow bans can't even fucking log in

I went through five accounts getting shadow bans over there. It's probably all automated but given 70% of my comments were helpful answers, shadowbanning my accounts is mostly hurting the backlog of useful info I'd left on reddit. Shooting themselves in the foot so to speak.

I just found out I am more than shadowbanned, I am blocked

I stopped being able to access using the Boost app today, and it is coming up with a message saying blocked, but I can log in on the website fine.

I did have a message deleted for "inciting violence" the other day though.

I logged back in to check my account. I’m not banned as far as I can tell but I haven’t commented there in a year
