Description

Hi

Just got an email that my reddit proof check has failed. The email states to open an issue if this is a bug.

### Reddit

username: miki725miki
proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/a8xgof/my_keybase_proof_redditmiki725miki_keybasemiki725/

### Keybase

https://keybase.io/miki725

I saw some other related tickets here where people mentioned that accounts could be shadow-banned.
I have checked my reddit username and Im not banned https://nullprogram.com/am-i-shadowbanned/#miki725miki.

Any ideas why my proof is not being accepted?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the supplied Reddit proof and Keybase profile, then reproduce the failed proof check with the reported username. Trace the Reddit proof verification entry point in the Go client and identify why this proof is rejected. Done means the failure reason is explained and the proof is accepted or the issue is documented as an external Reddit restriction.
