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?

Also happened to my account from 2008 around the time of the API purge (and all my alt accounts except one). Banned me for "report abuse" because I reported too many blatant ads as spam. They had just killed off my favorite 3rd party app so I needed an excuse to leave anyway. Joined Lemm.ee and never looked back.

(And then Lemm.ee shut down so now my side account is my main account.)
