Every time I create a Reddit account and try making a comment or a post I get banned instantly. Regardless of if I use a completely different device, email, ip.

It's eerie.

It's pretty wild. Meanwhile bot farms just shuffle all identifiers.

They are actively harming human users in defense of their toxic mods & botters. Site is dying and they are the murderer.

It's so annoying.

How do you let bots roam freely and yet you ban me?

I’m beginning to think Reddit is a publisher. If you can control and curate what posts are seen (for example, perhaps only posts that your team makes), then you are content creator/publisher - not an aggregator.

It’s a controlled magazine with an editorial staff that selects topics, and controls the gates for commenting. It’s not organic on any level.

Fuck Reddit, seriously.
