with them going public with the company, it was a death knell. and constantly trying to appease MUSK has caused a lasting effect. he was the reason why so many people got banned in purges last year.

seems like its been dead internet for a few years, spez just stupidly made it more obvious by banning so many people, i think this is why he switch to shadowbans, less people notice, and not too many will complain. since people, bot owners wont notice until its much later.
i used to visit lemmy more regularly, but when .ee vanished there is less content so i visit later in the day.
city tankies are pretty bad. my citys sub has been taken over by "tankies of the city", and conservatives too. like people asking for specific questions: fare tickets, jury duty, you get a holier than thou response.
seems like dbzero is also very hostile, wierdly havnt been on most of those communities, but im banned there for some reason. did tankies take over that instance.
they ban you even if go too hard on trump. people arnt just seeing the astroturfing for trump on reddit. after the election, it was very chaotic on reddit, they were banning people left and right spez was definitely cleaning house for IPO, and to appease the gop once he fully came to power last year. spez acted everytime musk ask him to ban people.
im surprised they , havnt shadowbanned every acct you made the moment you created it, since they often will link your IP and device and automatic ban news ones. unless your IP or device changes everytime.
the others way they ban is through pattern of behaviour, your fingerprint, canvas size, device components.
they have too large of a presence of many of the main subs, like sports, celebrity gossip, movies/shows,,,etc, the og news and politics sub too, and then every new sub that popped up related to news or politics, thats probably where all the anomisity is coming from since the bans are likely coming from these giant subs. sports being another one, and now INDIA too. plus tons of porn subs, and OF peddling subs.
hopefully reddits own filter, or subreddits dont ban you quickly
some very specific questions wont show up on other forums that reddit has, since most people from other forums/sites moved to reddit to start communities there, or niche content. outside of something like health related fourms, are still healthy, or something about evading SOCIAL media bot/spam detection methods.
i was used to be on other forums that largely died out or became less useful because reddit had most if not all the answers or discussions. remember the subreddit bans in the 2017ish-2018, i joined a international forum that they migrated to and left that one, as it started to deviate from the actual original subreddit it came from. it did replicate the UI of old reddit quite nicely though.
Also easier to track users, incase they want to look for potential "bots", GOOGLE is quite intimately intertwined with reddits operations.
oh yea, i look through reddit on a firefox browser on the mobile phone. if it was on a pc, the adblocks can easily block it. Facebook i used ublock origin to get rid of thier login page popup.
