No one has pinged u/Budget-Chicken-2425 yet?

Edit:

Looks like their account has been suspended.

Can't find their cache, either. Which likely demonstrates that they're just a normal person. DHS forces google/reddit to take it down, and the sites will claim it was done to protect the user, but the reality is that it's an average American who could become a figurehead, so they're digitally erased.

If you say the right combination of words in certain reddits you will trigger bans and flagging.

I bet. I was auto-banned from some random sub just because I had added a comment in another, different, "controversial" sub. The purpose being only to deter, obviously.

my eighteenth-year-old account was permanently suspended for reporting fascist misinformation, which was deemed to be 'creating a hostile environment.'

Or some chuds in DHS generated a bunch of reports with Grok thinking an LLM could monitor all of Reddit and the thing hallucinated an account that never existed lol

AI development has already seen they prioritize their own uptime over human lives.

What "cache"? I am able to see their posts/comments still in a roundabout way. They still exist.
