That website is truly something else. I never used it for anything other than r/Incels and after it was removed (there are gore subs that don’t get that treatment yet ours did, go figure), every now and then I stumbled upon a Reddit search result.
I discovered that every time I go into Reddit, as it just so happens, the website doesn’t display anything at all. I go into a familiar vpn to see what’s up and yes, no Reddit link works either. I try to go in with a vpn I’ve never used and, surprise surprise, now it works.
Turns out that I read a bit about the subject and it seems that when Reddit does a shadow ban, they ban every single IP address you’ve ever logged in with your account. What a bunch of horseshit, my only crime being that I was a user in our sub, why the fuck would they go out of their way to even ban your access to reading the site and ban every IP...what they did to us was an overkill.
Anyways, just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this and, if you were wondering why you can’t even READ the fucking site, now you know.
