No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.

I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!

No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?

Good fucking riddance to Reddit. You might have been the last real person (not bot/AI) commenting on anything over there.

Why would you have a "work account" for Reddit?

OSHA compliance with nsfw materials.

Years ago, I had a work account that answered troubleshooting questions in the company subreddit. It was actually pretty great for that, because active users could get their answers quickly, but also the answers were preserved for future users. Our corpirate site had a community page, but it didn't have 0.01% of the daily views the subreddit had.

I left that job years ago, though, and I don't think the sub is as active as it was.

Work account for recruitment, we used reddit to recruit people, seems odd I know, but you can get some decent nerds from those programming subs 😂

i assumed work account , as advertising on the site. some non-propaganda spammer will do this, but they use other ways evasion.
