Why is it so hard to be a new user on Reddit?

[wowop99266]

I created a new account, after deleting my previous account in 2019, and apparently I made the mistake of posting being new account.

The first thing I was accused by other users of being a fake account. Then I was shadow banned for no reason. After repealling my ban, I was granted access again.

I made another post, following the rules of the sub, within 10 seconds my thread is deleted for no reason because of "spam protection".

Months later, I discovered I was shadow banned again. I had to repeal the ban again, and again I was granted access.

I just posted on another sub, again following the rules of the sub and Reddit, and within 10 seconds the moderators deleted my thread, this time I messaged the mods to ask why my thread was deleted.

Reddit didn't used to be like this three years ago. You can create a new account but if you post anywhere, or have 1 karma, you're automatically labeled a spam account.

Why the fuck would you want a new account on that troll farm?

Reddit makes Yahoo Answers look sensible, most of the time.

It depends on the sub apparently. Some subs control trolling by banning new users or low karma points. Others ban for use of certain words or phrases. Go to a very popular sub such as r/AskReddit and comment or ask questions to gain karma points.
