I made an account with Vlad in the username, and then i made another that was related to baseball. Both under the same email. To test it further, i made another account today using the same email and had the name Sankara in it. It is already shadowbanned. Fuck reddit.
after another account creation, it seems like what really triggered it was the fact I went and followed every subreddit i had on my old account. I made a new account and didnt follow anything and they havent banned it. I used the same email ive been using too so they should know its still me.
