it was way better before, especially they dint force the New UI, you can still use the OLD.reddit feature, which makes it easier to navigate the site. the infinite scroll feature that most social media has now, is not good at all, its also gets very buggy and laggy(if your using it on mobile browser). Also there have been significant ban/purges in the last few months and many accounts were banned. alot of innocent users have been caught in the crossfire, additionally, in my opinion its pretty hostile to new users too, because subreddits have UPPed thier anti-ban evasion ,spam filter, even to the point it harms new users.
they automatically shadowban vpn users, i was on another forum that they already had been banning vpn accounts(instant ban) for a while they all switched to using proxies, anti-detection browsers, ISP changes to evade the bans. anyone who have been using it recently will get shadowbanned instantly or eventually, hence the use of different proxies instead. even that is not fool-proof , and people are actually paying to do this(for thier OF accounts)
a way to check if your acc is shadowbanned is logout and incognito and try to look up your user profile(or any other redditors profile, if says missing or suspended, you know), it also can tell if a user has deactivated thier acc.
additionally reddit is currently going through a large purge of accounts as of recently, someone mentioned in another forum that there have been an unusual amount of account bans recently(like 3 in the last 3 months). i lost a couple of accs as a normal users, one of my acc got temp suspeneded, suddenly all my other accounts were immediately permabanned.(apparently some mods are extremely anal about reporting other people). theres other instances of other peoples acc were banned for no reason at all, appealing just gets a rejection notice(reddit admins arnt even bothering to look at it, they know)
also using things like vcaptcha v3, which tracks your movements on the site. thats one aspect, if your using the app, they will be able to look at your device signature too. if you have more than 1 acc on an email, it can compromise them all(if one gets banned, perma ban all of them can take a hit). additionally they are purging many accounts right now too.
they can still ban all acc if your using the same VPN, . they are extra aggressive this time around.
they have vcaptcha v3, which im told it silently records you in the background and check for botting behavior, plus if you login with the same vpn+ip that has compromised reddit accounts. theres anti-detection browsers, mobile proxies, and additional need to let your account simmer after creating.
