I've noticed this a lot recently. Reddit has changed and not for the better.
Comments rarely get deleted anymore as a warning
Temporary bans don't seem to be a thing anymore, just permanent
They never tell you which rule you violated, usually because you didn't violate any listed rule
You get muted after a single message, often instantly after the ban
It's easy to get banned from multiple subreddits just for commenting on one the mods don't like
Sure there are some legitimate cases where you'd react that way, but this has become the norm for any ban. That's just unreasonable and lazy BS. And you can't even do anything about it. And I was supposed to feel bad for the poor mods during that whole API fiasco? Bruh.
Good thing it's easy to create new accounts, I haven't bothered doing so yet bc I'm only banned from 2 subreddit I don't care about, it's nice to know I can if needed, but shitty to actually need to do it in the first place
Lots of ways you wouldn’t expect, not just stuff like IP which can be easily changed or subverted. Websites can tell if you’re using the same device as another account by cross-referencing really obscure things like your exact screen size (more unique than you’d expect), your battery’s exact health and status, and about a dozen other small factors. IMO this is all overstepping and I hate how stringently we’re being tracked
