Reddit’s been pretty hostile to IP and devices associated with me. I haven’t interacted a lot with reddit, but when I did, I chose so because of how big the communities are (mostly TOMT and one 2000s laptop brand community).
I don’t know when it all started, I probably had to wait a week after account creation, probably had to not use reddit’s default username, probably didn’t have to update my post as often as I did. But the matter is, I can’t get shadow unbanned despite all my appeals and I don’t see it as a worthwhile activity just for a one/couple of TOMT post(s) that I’m ok with not being credited for.
…p.s. and this backstory probably explains my arrival to this platform.


They’ve made it impossible (as far as I can tell) to make truly anonymous accounts anymore which are not shadow banned. They require at least one bit of doxxing info nowadays.
