I got banned while on a work trip to the United States. I hadn't posted at the time for more than a year.
I requested my post history from them and posted it up publicly to see if anyone could figure out why, I've still got no idea.
There's a link to my post history in a previous winge about it https://lemmy.nz/post/2224688/2959801.
got banned for supporting Luigi. albeit a bit vocally.
A lot.
Yes this is me, I had like 8 or 9 accounts, I commented something "political" (I said health insurance is horrible and a joke in this country, and that it should be Medicare for all) in r/genx, sorry wasn't paying attention to each subreddits rules every time I posted a comment. My bad didn't realize how serious that was. Then got a 7 day ban will I accidentally (not on purpose at all, was not trying to evade a ban or anything I was just not paying attention) commented again on a gen x comment got instantly banned. I freaked out like what the hell. I asked for an appeal, got denied So a little while later I turned on my VPN (now I know how stupid that was) instantly I started getting notifications from all my accounts that they were banned for ban evasion. WTF stupidest thing is that I didn't know that I would be "forever banned" you know they could just say like you have a year or something. But really banning people forever seems fucking stupid. I didn't purposefully try to evade a ban from one subreddit, I was logged in with my other account and didn't even think to look at what Reddit I was posting to, I just commented while reading and bam almost 10 years of contributions, community building, good faith arguments all gone, but fucking horrible subreddits taking about how to r*pe lesbians can still fucking be on there. What a cesspool. I'm sad I'm banned but at the same time I think maybe it was for the best seeing just how addicted I had become to scrolling and commenting. I just miss my communities. I hope I can build some new and better relationships here.

I haven't seriously posted anything on reddit since the APIcalypse but still lurk there occasionally.
It's also still a decent source of tech information and user experience but that will soon be over as well.
These days reddit is filled with AI slop, malicious bots, Russian trolls, nazi propaganda etc. Outside of some niche subreddits that site is not worth interacting with anymore than necessary.
Yeah, got a few temp bans for talking about shitler/muskrat and they perma-banned my account for "harassment". The post they linked me to didn't even link to a comment; it wasn't something I remember posting on.
I was getting tired of the culture over there anyway. I was also tired of arguing with conservatives who think their shit doesn't stink and regurgitate Fox News talking points about the "illegals" and ICE.
I was permanently banned on Reddit June 2024 because I said I hoped the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus.
I came here after deciding to quit reddit. I'm Canadian. I had no problems with reddit other than Trump's threats to annex (invade) Canada. I'm also joining my national brothers and sisters in the tariff boycotts.
