Saw that after posting this. I feel like a dumb.

That account is a bot. Not an insult as it is a useful bot. But that is why they spotted it.
I'm not a bot. Obviously a bot would be programmed to say that, but they wouldn't make my typos.
I suspect you are a human that also has a bot running on the same account name. If not you are using a tool. If not you are an avid digital archaeologist.
You should probably allay @hlloyd1925's fears you were accusing them. No automation, just sometimes paying attention.
:done:
No, just a new user.
Didn't mean you, sorry for the confusion.
Don't feel like a dumb.

I am super paranoid about losing old.reddit. When I saw the "you broke reddit" page, this was also my first thought.

I for one don’t blame you for panic posting … so much is turning to shit these days…
