Reddit is known to fingerprint TLS and quickly shadowban accounts that don't have the fingerprints of browsers.

TLS fingerprinting and Cloudflare are easy to bypass. There are lots of libraries that do so.

The application-layer stuff is harder. Each application can develop its own heuristics, and that's difficult to automate in a cross-cutting fashion.

Reddit doesn't do anything about that? That seems stupid.
