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?

Happened to me 3 years ago for calling trump supporters dumb rednecks - turns out I was wrong; there is an unfortunate diversity in this demographic. But honestly I haven't really missed Reddit and enjoy the slow pace of Lemmy more.

You mean you don't enjoy posts with 20K comments on them where it is pointless to eve comment because it will quickly get buried.

Right. There were many times while on Reddit that I wanted to contribute something to the discussion but ended up deciding it's not really worth the effort, it would never get seen. Until that fateful day my last comment was seen.... Lemmy ever since.
