Sorry but reddit has died. I wonder if people realise much of the banning and moderation is done with algorithms. If the algorithms find you do not fit in, you will be repeatedly permabanned forever.
sadly, nothing on reddit can be trusted anymore. Not only AI bots, but mods ban and delete users who do not espouse a narrow view, Basically, if you do not fit into their "reddit/facebook/whatever/commerce IPO reddit world", then you are banned. Reddit has become a massive echo chamber of people and bots rubbing each other's backs.
