One thing I don't miss about Reddit is how dependence on automod made it literally unusable for new accounts (sh.itjust.works)

On Reddit if you have a new account that wasn't five years old and had over 9,000 upvotes you'd be de-facto banned from 90% of all subreddits by AutoModerator removing everything you posted. Even then if you didn't use proper bracketing or whatever you'd get removed as well.

Part of me thinks this was intentional to get people attached to their accounts that conveniently had their life stories, writing styles, beliefs, likes and dislikes all in one place.

This would not surprise me. I started a new account recently and was baffled at how hard it was to get onto certain subs. It was mostly the medium sized subs. They don’t even say how long a new account has to be active or what the karma threshold is.
