A guy in a Discord channel told me to stop fighting the shadowban bot
I was in the r/FreeSpeech server and this mod named Alex kept saying I should just make new accounts instead of appealing shadowbans. I wasted 3 weeks filing reports that went nowhere before I tried his method, and my new account lasted 6 months before getting flagged. Has anyone else found that fighting the system just gets you locked out faster?

Wait you ever see someone fight the system and get absolutely wrecked? My buddy kept appealing and now his whole building's IP is flagged.

Yeah, I've been down that exact road. You're basically screaming into a void with those appeals, honestly. Making new accounts is the only thing that's worked for me too, but you gotta be smart about it. Use a VPN or a different IP, make the account look totally organic (don't jump into controversial stuff right away), and never link it to your old email or phone number. I've had accounts last over a year by just posting cat pictures and anime memes for the first month. The system flags you if you act like a bot or if you're too aggressive about the same topics. Fighting the appeals process just marks your IP and your email as "problematic" which makes everything harder.
