As soon as I make an account and try to post a comment or something. I get “server error” which is basically a ban.

    My current reddit account is my 12th reddit account so far aging around 1 month now. Previous 11 accounts were shadow banned even without me doing any illegal, spamming activity., That’s why I deleted them.

    I haven’t made a comment with my current one. Just upvoting 1 post per day to maintain the streak.

    Also I’ve joined karma farming subs to first gather comment karma then post karma…

    This time, I’m very cautious. I hope I don’t get shadow banned.

      I had maybe 8 reddit accounts, the whole time i used reddit. The first onle lasted like 10 years or so. Then after the first ban i made a new one every other week.

        I need to gather information about some things I’m interested in. You can call it as a self-research.

        I see all these youtubers that literally dissecting the whole internet for information, source, knowledge, course and they make things with these from scratch without having no prior and proper knowledge from the start.

        Watching these kinds of videos made me to come to 2 conclusions.

        Either I really don’t know how to use the internet, or I’m too lazy to explore it.

        Then I decided to take matters into my own hands. Like the “F*ck around and find out” method. I began surfing articles, google doxxing, forums, reddit, quora, LLMs to get an overall average understanding. Then I stopped at few points, marking them as permanent and important for using the internet.

        Reddit was one of them. The real amount of FAFO people in reddit is very low, but at least their advices, shared experiences are legit. But you know, not everybody has the same question.

        If I find a subreddit important for my research, there are very few, close to none amount of questions that match my thirst. And as a new user, I just couldn’t post or comment.

        So what did I had to do? I needed to farm karma. I’m no girl so I couldn’t karma-bait using my pu$$y, I started with 1 or 2 comments per day, accumulating 50+ comment karma then I headed to make my first post.

        The post usually works well. It gains me some karma. I farm more. Get 100+ post karma. After that, for some reason, I get shadow banned.

        I appealed, reddit responded with, “Unfortunately, we cannot…”

        This cycle has been happening since the last 11 account for over 3 years.

          I resent your comment, “I’m no girl so I couldn’t karma-bait using my pu$$y” This could have been said much differently. Im a girl, and back when I needed reddit karma to post in a sub I wanted to partake in, I just posted my baked goods on the baking sub. Not all women are like, I’ll just use my pussy, I’d argue most arnt like that. Give me a break yo. Why you gotta punch down on me because you need karma? Just post ur dick, oh im sorry your d!ck.

            I’m sorry and thankful to you at the same time.

            That sentence of me was direct, yes. But I didn’t mean all the girls at reddit.

            I’m sorry to hurt your feelings. But I really didn’t mean all the girls at reddit.

            Karma-baiting with nudity has spread from OG nsfw subreddit to normal karma farming subreddit. As a result of that, there are very few, close to none amount of karma farming subreddit that doesn’t allow nsfw. Still some girls post NSFW there.

            That’s the thing frustrates me and that’s why I wrote that sentence.

            I didn’t mean all the girls in general.

            I too, am in some wholesome subreddit where people post wholesome things. Like you said, baking subs, cooking subs etc…

          I remember Google+ in the past, it was a great source of information, now my source of information became reddit. Like /r/stocks, /r/anime_titties, /r/programming, or even niche like nier automata fan subreddit. I wish we have other sources, I miss when internet forums were everywhere and you could find forum for every topic.
