I made a reddit account yesterday and it already got banned. 3 comments and a post. Reddit is fucking unusable if you are new. Like, how tf am I suppoesd to even start using their shitty platform if I cant even use reddit without their autofilter banning me?? My account in question: https://www.reddit.com/user/anonymus_potato/ Fuck reddit long live Lemmy

Not for VPN only, but VPN usage is one of the factors their automated system uses to decide if someone should be banned. And, from my experience, it’s quite a strong factor.
That’s kinda ridiculous. I believe you, still ridiculous.
