i believe musk complained at least 2 occasions, against r/whitepeopletwitter and then in general. which led to more aggressive bans. whats new is that when they temporarily suspended, all your other accounts that participated in the same subs were also banned. plus shadowbans were also increasing as well.
Reddit started deploying thier AI moderation at the same time, which led to shadowbans and regular bans, which wernt appealable in most cases. they used to have a time limit when you were partially sub banned, and it were to wear off, but reddit/AI decided that the previous listed bans are considered ban evasions so all accounts tied to your IP, FINGERPRINT, device were instantly banned.
plus they also upped thier detection of non-propaganda bots ban evaders too(OF fans and link farmers). i have suspicion they largely ignore most propaganda bots. people using anti-detect software/ sophisticated proxies,,,etc.
because these other non-propaganda bots compete with the propaganda bots, and could drown out thier right wing or astroturfing messaging.
