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 learned to not mess with r/pics in criticizing politically, i got banned a while ago, i just report the heavily biased pics that are super-political. during election year, i was reporting gaza pics that were target specifically at one party of the other, the OP always have to give thier opinions.

r/pics was the first sub I've noticed that went full political ass berserk mode during 2024. Nothing wrong in having a few political pics there. But when 95% of posts are political and gathering 30k+ upvotes while a really nice and peculiar photo of literally anything else gets like 200 upvotes max, this shit gets annoying in an instant. Political pics was never the main purpose of the sub. But mods shit on the "purpose" in favor of the agenda and popularity.

From the top of my head: clevercomebacks, whitepeopletwitter, blackpeopletwitter, adviceanimals, videos, therewasanattempt, facepalm and probably even more - all turned to be full on political berserk subs. The only way to use reddit today is to participate in tiny small micro subs that haven't got stained by politics yet.
