Time to ban Reddit.

Exact same thing happened to me. I think it was the narwhal app that did it. I was temp banned for making fun of Kevin Durant. Not joking. Automod is hilarious. Anyhow a day later permabanned after 15 years. Mods won’t undo it and denied my appeal. I had an alt that I hadn’t switched over to in a long long time that was subbed to some subs my main isn’t subbed to because I want to keep their activities separate. I wonder if literally just the existence of an alt is triggering some stupid new AI Moderation avoidance tool. Fuck Reddit.

Same happened to me. Fuck reddit back to the hell in which it came. Mods can't handle the truth there. Never going back!!

Anyone managed to get around this?

Didn't even try. It was the impetus I needed to finally leave reddit. I'd also been on there for a long time, and i was putting in an hour or so each day. It wasn't really doing me any good, and when I adjusted I felt better to be away from it. Lemmy scratches the itch but is small enough that it doesn't consume much time. I do more reading and gaming now when I'm free. Years spent on reddit and big karma numbers are a sunk cost that makes it hard to leave.

I was the same. There was one sub I won't name where I made a comment against a celebrity (nothing bad, just making fun of her) and got banned.

I usually delete my Reddit accounts after a year just because I'm wary of how much info you can accidentally reveal about yourself.

Well, I'd made a new account and accidentally posted on the same sub which immediately got me a permanent ban for evasion.

My fault, but no real loss. For the last few years I rarely contribute and just use Reddit for info.

I got a "permaban" about 3 years ago. Last month I was unbanned with no notification. Apparently you can just wait?

I was banned last night. There must be a crack down going on. Multiple accounts on multiple emails. Definitely on a DHS list now I guess.

Fuck it. I'm not going back. I suspect any reasonable person is getting kicked off the platform. Shits fucked

Welcome 🤗, to your new online community

The lesson is we need platforms like lemmy. Don't ever support any corporate platforms they may seem nice now but it always ends badly.

Your only mistake was not being banned 19 years sooner.

How to get around this:

Why the fuck are you on an enemy's weapons system? Yes, you will have to make peace with permanently being excluded from what is essentialy 1/3 of the internet, but they are REALLY evil. It's like an abussive partner leaving you.

Good riddance.

It's actually quite a horrible feeling, initially. I was there from near the beginning, through the glory days to the enshitification. Got banned from a sub by an overzealous mod on AskUK. Then perma-banned for 'ban-evasion', simply for using another "throwaway" account, which was common practice for years.

Now I'm on Lemmy I'm never going back, even if I could (which is harder than you might think).

Yes, this place is way smaller, but I've met almost no dickheads or bots in the year or so I've been here. It's nice. I had a gander at Reddit the other day and it reinforced my affection for this platform and utter disdain for Reddit in general. They've absolutely wrecked it.

Honest question, is there anything to stop the same thing from happening on Lemmy if the admins of your instance don't like you?

Before you delete your 20 year old reddit account, take the time to carefully delete everything on that account -posts, comments, chats, everything- they are relying on you leaving that data so they feed their AI with it after you are gone. Simply deleting your account is not enough

Your account got flagged by bots or mass reported, abusing automod tools they flagged your remaining accounts as ban evasion. With the current moderation system there is nothing you can realistically do.

Starting with a new account is practically impossibile, and karma is a huge roadblock that is now just used to farm bots.

Come to think of it, I don't even like using that site, even for hobbies.

There's a suspicious number of word-word-number accounts that are deleting or overshadowing other users.

Bad deals over there.

Your first mistake was criticising Netanyahu. You do not criticise the supreme leader Your second mistake was using Reddit I think this ban has fixed the second one for you. Welcome to thelemmyclub 🤗

That's how I got permabanned but I did it intentionally because I was sick of their shit and didn't want to have the option to come back.

"Anyone managed to get around this?"

• Guy gets his 19yo account perma'd

• Tons of Wordword#### accounts with hidden post/comment history flooding reddit and render common subs unusable

Reddit: Fuck you and your two accounts, man. We hate multi-account users here.

Same here. 2 weeks ago out of nowhere I got perma banned after 10 years because of an ICE comment. I said since they didn't get paid, nor will get their sign on bonus, that in 3 years they will be back sucking immigrant cock behind a Wendy's for money. Apparently that is inciting violence. Suck a cock until you choke spez. Anyway it's better here except missing some niche subs that don't exist here.
