It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks.

    If you're not shadow banned

    I suspect they shadow banned me first for a few days, and probably pissed off a few racists who kept watching my account.

    I had an account for 10+ years before deleting it and creating a new one. My old account never even got banned from a subreddit once in all that time. And I had other accounts Before that, so I suspect I was targeted on the last account I bothered with
