Tell HN: Reddit shadowban account upon creation

Sharing this funny story so that people won't feel alone when it happen to them.

It seems my first and only reddit account created two hours ago is shadow-banned since the very beginning, tried one comment on /r/cpp and one post on /r/rust, nobody ever seen them other than one kind mod that confirmed there's nothing they can do.

Even funnier is that there is a subreddit /r/ShadowBan dedicated to test shadowban and some obvious spam-bot accounts are not banned yet mine is.

EDIT: now this post got flagged as well, the funny continues.
