I'm trying to understand what has happened to my Reddit account.
My posts are being removed, apparently by Reddit's filters, and my comments seem invisible to other users. My profile also displays "This account has been banned" when viewed from another account.
Additionally, my 1,600+ followers suddenly dropped to zero.
I can still log in and vote, but I haven't received any ban notification or explanation from Reddit.
I haven't knowingly engaged in spam or ban evasion. I may have posted similar content across related subreddits, but I never intended to spam.
I've already submitted an appeal, but haven't received a response.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be an incorrect spam flag or account restriction? I'd appreciate any insight.
One additional detail: shortly before these restrictions appeared, I posted criticism of dating apps and their business models in several related subreddits, sharing a video discussing recent research into how these platforms encourage continued user engagement. I don't know whether this is related, but I think it's worth mentioning.
