19 yrs on Reddit, permanently banned.
(lemmy.world)
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?
How do they even know it's both you in cases like this?
I think they use a lot of heuristics.
To test I made a new VM with fresh browser, running with a VPN and I still got banned, although it took slightly longer (maybe a few days).
It's possible though my VPN was used on my old account at some point though. But still.
