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?

I still use my banned account. I can sub/unsub, save posts and RES still works in my browser. I just can't comment, message or report people. Given I was mostly a helpful user with people's questions, it's really their loss.

You have to be careful with that account 'cause they continue to fingerprint you based on your account activity -subbbing/unsubbing- the less people using reddit, the faster it will die a natural death....like myspace.

While I agree, it's still the behemoth of information and people discussing things.

we can always build another one. Reddit is nothing without people's data and contributions which is why I advise you to delete your data if they decide to ban your account permanently.

These "people" are wagging a war against humanity! They don't want you helping anyone! They decided they want something they can always control and tune to their needs, fake people, in a fake world.

It's either us or them! Reddit must FALL!
