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?

One could also ask themselves: what appeal is there in being on a website that randomly bans you for breathing the wrong way?

I personally was beyond tired of having to walk on eggshells constantly, and while that will always be part of the nature of being online no matter who you are, it does get to a point on some platforms where you're afraid of even posting anything of looking at a thread because it can get you banned by some anti-social loser whose mod status is the only place in their life where they have power. Its just tiring.

If these platforms want to play that game, let them. They can have fun becoming a social media platform entirely filled with bots after all the real people have gotten tired of their bs.

As someone rightly said, reddit has become a bot-only outfit. Even the moderators are bots.. so fuck 'em
