When I made /r/groverfurr the reddit admins banned it in under 24 hours with the excuse that it was a copy of a banned subreddit (chapotraphouse) intended for subreddit ban evasion.
It kind of looks like reddit has permanently marked all accounts and variously fingerprinted users that once posted often in r/cth and now they just ban any new subreddit where they start to congregate regardless of whether it’s an actual attempt to revive the sub or not. It’s like a soft shadow ban where we can still comment on most posts in most subreddits, but if we start talking politics with like minded people, it alerts the admins.

Bit idea: make a bot that makes new subreddits on these marked accounts so there are no free subreddits left on
How is r/thedeprogram still up then?
The vibe I get from that places is that its younger members who probably weren’t part of r/cth. But I’m sure they’ll ban it eventually.
Or trueanon for that matter.
