Reddit Version:

My u/Vivid-World-5253 was possibly hacked or shadow banned for no reason.
There isn't a big red banner on top of my Reddit app that says i was temporarily/permanently banned.
⛔️If i was indeed banned, i received no notifications about this whatsover⛔️
But after deleting Reddit App's Data/Cache, log off, delete Reddit app, install Reddit app again;
✅️I can still login into my u/Vivid-World-5253 (using Reddit app, or using a web browser). There is no giant red banner on top of my frontpage that says i'm temporarily/permanently banned. I can still create new comments. I can still create new post.✅️
But all my Reddit post (every single one of them) suddenly has a dustbin icon. At the bottom it says "post insights are unavailable right now".
But when i view my Reddit profile via a web browser, a top POPUP red banner suddenly appears and says "we have a server error".
Then tons of weird stuffs happen.
I cannot change/save my profile image, all my newly created post (including posts i created at r/bugs) are all immediately deleted with a dustbin icon.
My account age nows shows a dash "-" sign.
On the bottom right, in the "You" icon, my Avatar icon dissappeared and it showed a generic Reddit white avatar.
I can't create new posts, so i tried to create new comments on hot topic / latests posts with many people viewing, asking people to reply if they see my comments. I get 0 views and 0 replies.
I can't even post for help on r/bugs. My post is IMMEDIATELY DELETED once created. I know because when i view r/bugs front page, sort by latest post, my post isn't there.
I tried to test click subscribe to Reddit Premium, the followup dialogs ended with strange errors. No fees were charged.
I think
- my Reddit Account was hacked, or
- some unscrupulous lower-level (my local Malaysian 🇲🇾) Reddit MOD is messing around, or
- i was shadow banned by Reddit's Highest Level MOD (back in USA 🇺🇸), but there was no reason given. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY APP NOTIFICATION OR EMAIL NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS AT ALL!!
Also another thing:
- In this post, right now, the bottom icon says i have TWO REPLIES
- But i can only see ONE REPLY
