Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.

Reddit simply doesn’t want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content.

they have been culling via shadowbanning for a month now, much more aggressively like with the ban purgews.

Way more than months. This goes at least as far back as the 2016 kerfuffle over The_Donald, ChapoTrapHouse, and other increasingly popular outside-the-mainstream communities.
Honestly easier to trace it back to 2012, when Reddit was gaining popular steam and doing lots of high profile AMAs. Shadowbanning was a great way to quash the mix of spam accounts and hecklers without letting the people running the accounts know they needed to roll up new ones.

but it drastically increased last month, even compared to feb with all the site wide bans, shadowbans are more silent, so people dont notice it right away, reddit does this intentionally because they like being sneaky and tip people off.
