Well it finally happened, my outreach account got softlocked.
Well it finally happened, my outreach account got softlocked.
I had my 15yo old reddit account still up which I was only using for outreach for threadiverse in places like /r/redditalternatives etc. Last week I got an email that they found some "suspicious behaviour" (of what? I never use it) and locked it, so I had to reset the password. I visited reddit directly to verify and discovered that it was indeed locked. So I reset my password, so far so good. Set a new password and everything. However when trying to login with the new password, it initially was giving me some rate limiting errors, and afterwards it was claiming "the username or password is wrong". Also looking at my profile shows it has been restricted to 18+ user for some reason (I have nothing NSFW in it).
So looks like this is the anticlimactic end of that journey. Can't say I'm sad, but I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner given the amount of anti-reddit shit I've posted in the past 2.5 years :D
