PyBench – Benchmark tool written in Python with help of AI (github.com)

So Reddit shadow banned me (you're just left dangling creating content not knowing any better) and Quora banned me outright with a phoney spam claim after submitting meaningful answers on their platform for two years.

You know the drill: "you're banned, don't appeal, go straight to jail, don't pass go. We're not content gobbling narcissists - it's just not working. Ok bye."

As SaaS founders you know Reddit's strategic importance to garnering traffic and launching (or is it?).

So what else are you doing besides the use of ANY social platforms?

For me now it's content sovereignty. My own server, my own blog, and the long hard walk to SEO freedom.

Not sure why you are banned but you can always try to appeal:

https://www.reddit.com/appeals

Each subreddit has its own rules listed in the sidebar, so make sure you check those. What’s allowed in one community might be completely off-limits in another, even if it follows Reddit’s general guidelines

Thank you for that. Yes I did fill out that form. I only realised the shadow ban several months after it was implemented. The clues were not being able to update user handle, server error thrown when accessing profile, content suppression. So it's serverwide. I've decided to move on. I closed my account.

If more than one platform banned you then maybe the problem is not the platform, maybe it's you.

Your profile is full of you spamming the same thing over and over.
