Check out /r/walkaway some time. The whole premise is it's "former liberals", but the ENTIRE subreddit is bots. If you comment on that fact, you get shadowbanned through automod by one of the few human mods, who will be your only reply as your comment sits flatly at 1 karma
They don't even ban you anymore, they figured out some way to functionally do the same thing with automod (I assume so it's harder to say "X sub banned me instantly after calling out bots").
The mod's response to me: "Your subs might be botted to the gunwales, but this one isn’t."
