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 may be wrong but with it being defederated does that mitigate the concern of it being enshittified? Or maybe I dont understand the whole picture of defederated apps but isnt the hope that they remain corporate free even if they are popular?

Bots and tech corporations will always infiltrate popular social media platforms to push narratives.

There are companies you can hire that do this.

And the bad people out there definitely do this.

Once a platform becomes more popular, it will have a target on its back.
