Firstly, I understand why, most blank profiles are bots, but it’s so frustrating trying to dm people, and interact in communities when you are mostly a lurker. Now I’m not a lurker here, but on other places it’s very annoying when you just want to talk to a specific person. Reddit is especially dreadful for new accounts or lurkers. Karma requirement’s are such bullshit.
You can ask someone to check your profile in /r/shadowban to find out for sure (if you weren’t aware). I checked and old account because I thought I was shadow banned, turned out I wasn’t it’s just my comments were buried under AI slop
So sad what happened to reddit, it really had a chance to be great
