I was wondering why the Reddit deals were no longer being shown here, especially the $1300 Dell PC with RTX3080+7700x.

It turns that bot was banned. I don't think there's any explanation available, guess bots are just not welcome in this instance?

Anyway, it was a great run, but guess Reddit couldn't be replaced in the end.

According to the modlog, the bot was banned for ads. I guess the bot reposted something from the Reddit bapcsales sub that sounded too much like an ad. I can understand the reasoning, and it's likely someone reported seeing too much sales stuff in the main feed.

Good catch on noticing it, maybe petition an admin like @TruckBC@lemmy.ca to restore it or weigh in, potentially.
