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 had a 11yo account banned, although i dint use it for a long time, because i forgot i only found out because reddit was to massive purges at the time. with thier AI, they found almost all the accounts, and this probably happening to other people too. they retroactively ban people thats why the purges were so pervasive, plus they also apparently ignored the "wait how long before you can comment in a subreddit after getting banned" unofficial rule too.

I was just permabanned for calling Ann Coulter racist, because I "promoted identity-based hate or attacks." Because apparently saying racism is bad is... Bad. After I appealed this obviously wrongful ban, I was permabanned again for literally no reason. When I appealed that ban, they swiftly responded saying my appeal will not be granted, without ever saying what rule I even broke.

14 years down the fuckin drain. The biggest thing keeping me on this mortal coil is the promise that one day I will read Steve Huffman's obituary

Got my first ban for saying someone was doing something to keep criminals out of the store (in a white community, btw) and they said it was racists against black people and banned me, then autobans from other communities that mod was a mod of hit me. I repealed it asking for any sign of racism, or indeed racism in any of my long post history...they muted me, and blocked me. Reddit is trash. And yes, you can ban evade there, I do it to troll those communities and just be a trash person to give the mod more work. Look up the reddit anti-banevasion tech they use. If you want to make a hobby of bot-spamming their crap with clanker slop posts... hypothetically.

Your only mistake was not being banned 19 years sooner.
