Reddits been building up its user base in India the past few years.[1]
I’m permabanned on Reddit so I only consume via the default not logged in feed and I run into some comments in what I assume is Hindi(might be marathi or one of the multiple other languages on the continent) or posts from subreddits explicitly about some aspect of india
I had a few alt accounts, they were all banned and I wasn’t able to make a new account with existing emails.
I assume, with no evidence, that they just used the same data tracking for ads, to enforce the ban. I think Meta turned on the real banning tech during a panic in Covid iirc

How are permabanned? Can you just change the handle or create a new account?
Their ban system is really hard to get around. They use a massive amount of different signals to try to detect anyone trying to get around a ban.
(Reddit has two forms of bans, shadowbans and permabans, both have essentially the same effect)
