Recently I've been getting banned all over the place. Just last week I permanently lost Reddit access (even on new accounts that they can map to me) because I tried to bulk delete my old comments using an app. A few months before that I lost Blind. I don't know why. Neither site has been responsive when I ask for what they know about me using GDPR/CCPA I've used the internet for decades and never been banned from anything before and I don't think my behavior has changed. I assume that sites are just getting real strict for whatever reason.

      Sure. Any reason in particular why you're so supportive? Most people I've talked to just say something along the lines "stop being a troll"

Cloudflare and Captchas are becoming far more aggressive in the last couple of months, too. I even failed a Cloudflare check for the first time ever recently, which was a bit of a surprise. It seems we're sleepwalking into not being able to do much on the internet unless you have a profile paired 1 to 1 with your IRL ID. I imagine a lot of it is connected with the upcoming US election and escalating conflict between 'east and west' going on at the moment. Though chipping away at enlightenment values in such a a manner is exactly how we lose.
