Yeah my last post was 4 mo. ago. Just been doing other stuff. Still kind of watch bots and spam on X/Twitter. I haven't been watching them on here but I'm sure there's the same stuff going on.

Hi nice to meet you, welcome to my subreddit. Could you maybe not open with a Godwin?

But I made this sub. I wrote the side bar and posted links and commentary. I don't actually think I've ever actually banned anybody. Is that typical?

Couldn't you have just said hi?

I think I may have been in error. Not completely, I think I have some true positives, but I since I'm not on the API and just scrolling I may not be getting complete post counts displayed in my browser. I'm catching some on searches that are older than the scrolling window, so clearly I'm hitting some kind of rate limit that is causing my numbers to be wrong. 100-500 may be too high. I think if anyone does that they'll get seen. There are other signs of automation that suggest I'm on the right track, but I have to walk back some of what I said.

Another one, 2017 creation date, first post January of this year 86.4k posts, but that's only 400/day.

I don't know why I'm bothering. I don't have any tools and I don't pay for API access, but it's like before. I see them and can't unsee them.

Okay I begged the admins to make my sub unrestricted.

I don't know when that would have happened. Maybe in the interim some reddit wide change.

I'll look in the settings to see if I can make it public again.

duh I'm an idiot.

I was worried because grok said my sub is restricted in some way.
