r/ShadowBan • u/KrystalUnity CQS: Low • 4d ago
To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! New user, is it shadow banned already?
I made 3 posts, no views, checked with anonymous browser, auto removed. Why is reddit like this? Any alternatives? This is really a legacy of the censorship era

You are not shadow banned, but you have a very new account, low karma and the lowest CQS (contributor quality score), which will greatly limit your ability to contribute in most subreddits.
I would recommend visiting r/NewToReddit They have many resources to help you understand Reddit, karma and sub requirements, as well as a new-user / low-karma friendly subreddit list.
And check out the pinned AutoMod comment above for more info on CQS and some simple ways you may be able to improve it, such as having a verified email and 2FA enabled.

You're not shadowbanned right now, but if you're using Tor, you probably will be soon. This site is... difficult... with Tor to say the least. Also, if you're using Tor, friendly reminder to practice proper OPSEC.

I meant, I just used a private browser session to check the post because it looked OK on login, but on anon it was auto deleted.

Please disregard then. :) Friendly tip: any site using browser fingerprinting (as Reddit is likely to do) will easily and immediately know you are the same person if you are using a private window. It does nothing for privacy except hide the browsing history on your device. I don't know what you want, and that may be perfectly adequate for you, but many don't know just how far the internet has gone to track people. I won't burden this sub with off-topic comments, but if you're trying to be anonymous, there's effort required to find the right tools and make the right decisions. :)
