I was on Reddit for 10 years, and I have absolutely no clue why I was banned. I just moved, so maybe it was because my new ISP dealt me a bad IP?

Anyway, Reddit:

  1. Has no email, and doesn’t respond to e-mails.
  2. Doesn’t respond to mod mail, doesn’t tell you why you were banned.
  3. Doesn’t respond to appeal.
  4. Autobans any user I create.
  5. Seemingly doesn’t give a shit about it’s long-term users.

I guess from here on out I’m a… Lemming? Lemmyzen? Lemmy user?

Anyway thanks for having me! Reddit was shit anyway. I’ve been without it for a week now, and my life has definitely improved lol

    you know its done by an AI if you dont get the incident of the ban, like they usually tell you what triggered. Like ban evasion, they usually tell you your previous account did it.

    in anycase like many of us, early this year a bunch of redditors was hit by a massive ban wave, multiple accounts each 5+years olds were all instantly banned with the “no-message”. then the massive random shadowbans that have occured too.

    i heard appeals can take months before an admin even reads it, i think most get ignored though.

    Also if your not using an appealing the original account they tend to ignore the shadowbans/permabans of the new accounts. any new account creation after a shadowban, will instantly get shadowbanned, so dont bother.

    they also keep a record of any of your old deleted accounts, if they participated any a sub that decides to ban you, so any new accounts even years old will be banned.
