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?

it feels way less ‘shouting into the void’

Very much so.

Two things killed Reddit for me.

Bot bans for basically everything.
Over-saturated to the point that your comments almost never get interacted with. So....what's the point?

Same here! I used to leave comments in the early days of Reddit, but then it became clear that many posts I was replying to were just karma farming or bots.

Seeing that made me just stopped using it as anything other than a content aggregator, and only through the 3rd party apps.

When they basically killed API access I moved here. It doesn't have the niche communities that are on Reddit, but when I need information from those I just search it up.
