On Reddit if you have a new account that wasn’t five years old and had over 9,000 upvotes you’d be de-facto banned from 90% of all subreddits by AutoModerator removing everything you posted. Even then if you didn’t use proper bracketing or whatever you’d get removed as well.

Part of me thinks this was intentional to get people attached to their accounts that conveniently had their life stories, writing styles, beliefs, likes and dislikes all in one place.

    This morning a sub along the lines of “Lemmings For Israel” popped up on discuss.tchncs.de with like 30 spam posts about how the genocide was justified, “free Israel,” that there was no genocide, that Hamas started it, etc. from a bunch of accounts all created within the previous hour. Messaged the admin and it got nuked pretty quick, but someone was clearly dedicated to trying to AstroTurf. It probably would have been a bit more difficult for such a low effort spammer with a delay before posting
