My first shadowban I think took me about 2 months to realise why I wasn't getting any replies... I had posted numerous help topics and just started to think that Reddit wasn't that useful anymore.
Then I realised I'd been shadowbanned. I didn't even know what it was.
I guess my IP or something got flagged because generally I was never able to make an account that lasted more than a few days without getting shadowbanned. At first it was okay even, some subreddits your account was working fine. Posting in the homelab subreddits or datahoarder etc. other subs like news, worldnews etc. my comments never got any replies.
I only ever used my acc mostly to ask questions. When I got my answer, I abandoned the thread. Didn't have time for drama and I generally didn't even reply to comments except to give more info on a request.
Month-on-month it got worse. Accounts which had no right to be flagged, got shadowbanned. One day I'd be posting fine, the next. Shadowbanned.
Then I'd make another account. Different device, different IP, even from a friend's computer in another country. I realised later they'd track you through everything. If you went to threads of a person who was shadowbanned, you also got it. Ultimately I spent ages trying to have even just one account with enough karma that I could post without captcha or 10 minute delay.
I wasted months and despite how much I read about it. I could never figure out how it worked. Reading about it also felt like a waste of my time.
When reddit finally shut down the public api and the apps I was using stopped working. I ditched it immediately. Gradually I also went back to stackoverflow. Even if it takes longer to get an answer, they are so much higher quality.
Looking back, I knew reddit sucked but boy was I mad when I thought of how much time I wasted. Just because I didn't spend 7 years of my life building a 75k karma account...
Normally I'd just tell you all to kiss my nuts but ok, we're not actually on that site, we're on another one.
If I shared all my filters here I'd probably get my account banned in 5 seconds due to tripping so many keywords.
Just Google "recommended 4chan filters" and then check a couple of threads FROM 4chan for examples.
Obvious ones would be:
After setting up a decent filters list. eg. no memeflags, no porn, no rekt/gore, no trans etc. the site is pretty awesome. Plenty of hilarious schizo stuff, high quality bantz and because there's no karma and generally no rules people don't focus on fighting or arguing by trying to one-up each other. They just call each other a f*g and usually immediately move on.
Obviously not recommended if you are someone who is actually remotely offended by casual sexism, racism etc. aka you need to at least not have the fragility of a two year old child.
I also recommend:
/pol/ only with half-decent filters otherwise it's 90% merchant spam /wsg/ /an/ /v/ /vm/ /g/ /k/ /biz/ if you're okay with losing money lol
