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 got a "permaban" about 3 years ago. Last month I was unbanned with no notification. Apparently you can just wait?

yes. i have been permabanned and unbanned three times now.

all in the past 3 years. it's insane. I'm probably unbanned again already but I don't really care anymore. my bans were for the most innocuous comments take out of context and all from AI tools and angry losers who report you for disagreeing with them.

i used reddit for a decade with zero incidents, mostly on one account with a few throwaways. my opinions haven't changed really either, but now apparently I am a sexist and racist and violent person for pointing out that sexism, racism, and violence exist.
