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?

Reddit bans are serious stuff. You don't wanna get around it anyways, not that you could. They are doing you a favor, really. Now you can just anonymously scroll, like me!

Whenever I'm banned I just delete the account and create a new one.

When Im banned from a place, I never go back. Facebook banned me for some unknown reason, I will never go back there either.

Doesn’t work like that

It is pretty easy to get around them simply don't enter an email to verify when making a new account and use a VPN and private window.
