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?

Not very diverse (read "useful") training material if they ban everybody expressing a POV that the asshole troll mods don't like.

Training material doesn't need to be diverse when the AI models are intended to promote very specific ideologies. It's probably better to limit the sample size to "approved" discourse in those circumstances.

This is where the smart money is. They're clearly massaging the input with this, every time.
