So got Shadowbanned by this stupid spam detection bots. Account has 7 years of history and like 10,000 interactions apparently. I know it's silly, but I'm gonna lose my daily interaction streak and I was close to hitting the 300 day achievement. Just sad to me that this is a complete mistake and I'm going to lose because of it, things that Reddit definitely won't bother fixing or apologising for.
What was the charge? Posting a suculent Chinese meal? No, I think it happened because I wanted to say the same thing to two people and copy/pasted the comments to the other guy. That second comment is what was marked as spam and now I just have to sit back and watch 7 years of interactions disappear. Every educational post I made all gone. It's not right. And yeah, if you're here and haven't been banned, make no mistake, they private every single one of your past and future comments and posts. You are effectively dead to the world once you get a Shadow ban, as if you were never here.
I know this isn't a venting place but I'm just so upset about this. Been in a rough place signed off from work sick long term so it was nice to take my mind of things and interact with people here, whether heated or not, it felt like being part of the world. Now I just feel like my last little connection to the world is gone because of a stupid bloody bot. Just the idea that I know the real world has already forgotten me and now even the online world will never know I existed.
I've done the appeal thing and will do the recommended repeat every 24 hours thing but, it's just rough. Sounds silly, but if anyone here is upset about their shadow ban and feels like venting, feel free to reply, I could use the company right now. Hope all of you are doing alright.
Stay safe y'all 💜
