You’re not alone. I never send cold messages either and still got shadowbanned once. Seems like Reddit’s DM filter can be a bit too sensitive sometimes.

How many messages were sent? Like a few or hundreds?

100 in the span of 20min, with random delay between 6-8 seconds between replies

Do they contain any external links? Try slowing it down

no links whatsoever... just plain text. i'll try slowing down or capping it, but i thought maybe its a widespread issue

You are taking too many actions at a time. Take it slow and more organic.

Are you automating replies or manually doing this? How fast do you reply? Be natural, most users are slow to reply, and maybe reply 1-5 dm's per day. If you are replying to 100+ in short period of time with copy pasta, it will easily get flagged.

Its just reddit being sensitive really. but think about it, a real user wouldnt reply to tons of dms all at one time. Space out your activity and make your actions more human.
