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?
There is something going on there and I suspect that there is a real effort underway to tie peoples identity to a reddit account. They want a real email or a phone number and if you are denying them this and protective of your data they are getting not a lot from you. They read your private messages and are basically data mining the hell out of everything. Culling long time members seems to be a thing and for specious or no real reason? I would like to think that me blocking all ads and blocking my IP and using an anonymous email annoyed them. I supported Palestine and reminded people about the death of Rachel Corrie so that probably helped. Karma was good 17,000 and 39000 post and comment so I have only two words for Reddit Admins..and they are See Ya!
I regularly purged my comment and post history and before I deleted it I overwrote my comment history with fuck u/spez then deleted and deleted my account.
Nice my version of redact is no longer supported. I am going to age up a new account and hopefully figure out how to get un suspended so I can wipe the account clean and leave them with nothing
I used REDACT to clean up my comment history, It rewrites them to something like the quick brown fox jumps over..or Ipsum Locsum
reddit is pretty much in cahoots with GOOgle have you notice how closely they are entertwined. GOOGLE promotes reddit posts instantly to the top, no secret. plus reddit uses googles AI system i believe too, reddit allows google to scrape the site, also thier anti-botting system, captcha v3 is invisible bot checking system, which apparently triggers the v2, if it doesnt trust you.
reddit also recently made user history, hide-able, so you cant tell if someone is a bot by looking at a evidence of thier comment history.
I laugh at google. I dont use their email and I dont have a recovery phone number and I dont save my my watch history on youtube and I block every ad they try and send. Privacy Badger is pretty helpful.
