A few days ago my Reddit account got banned. Whatever, that's just Tuesday for me. So I logged on to my next account and wouldn't you know it, that one's banned too! I then realized that all of my accounts got banned, pretty much at the exact same time. I tried making a new account and after a few minutes, it also got banned. I then tried making a new account using the TOR browser and a completely different email, but I kept getting error messages, which leads me to believe they're starting to block TOR IPs from making new accounts. At this point I'm starting to think the Reddit jannies might be ramping up their security and going full steam ahead on censorship. If you still have an account and you want to keep it, I'd advise you to be extra careful about what you post. I have a feeling we're going to see even milquetoast center-right subreddits being targeted more by the jannies in the upcoming months.

Reddit is basically impossible for a new account to use. I have a burner account with something like 12 karma which is too low to post anywhere. No matter what sub it's below some arbitrary karma threshold. That site has to be majority bots by now.
Reddit pushes the automoderator on everyone.
I don't have limits on my sub c_at, I think. Feel free to post and comment (and upvote).

Only restriction: Stick to the programming/computer theme in original posts.
Join some of the niche subreddits and they’ll upvote anything as long as you stick to the narrative.
Once you have enough karma only then can you post freely.
