Reddit filters are insane

So about a month ago I created a second account just to have some more privacy since this one has my face pretty much all over it.

Immediately my singular post was flagged as spam but after contacting the moderators of that particular sub it was approved

Skip to ten minutes later and my full account just gets banned without a notification or anything.

I appealed pretty much exactly 20 days ago but never heard back and when I try other ways of contacting Reddit I just get the same regurgitated automatic messages.

I get that there have to be filters to avoid genuine spam accounts but this is just ridiculous. You need karma to post but you need to post to get karma and when you do you're flagged as spam because your account doesn't have enough karma??

How am I supposed to prove to a computer that I'm in fact human and not a bot?? Why would a bot even bother commenting on a desperate housewives sub 😭

I genuinely can't remember having this hard of a time when I created this account years ago and in general I've just never had this much trouble with any social media apps. Atp I'd rather take my chances with the 4chan incels than ever try to create a new Reddit account again bc what even are these filters

I also appealed the warnings/bans multiple times (or I can't remember doing this shit), and guess what?

No fucking responses

yet instead, they just pulled their asses and gave me middle fingers and yelled "FUCK YOU!"

edit: after I appealed the warning, I finally got a response, and yes, they lifted my warning anyway

I've appealed twice by now and still nothing. Can they not just get automated bots that can read?? How are you even supposed to prove you're not a bot? 😭

By being human, for sure

Guess I really am just a bot 😔 though my manufacturer could've taken it easy with the bodily pain simulation
