I have had multiple accounts through 15 years on reddit but reddit has become hardcore ban happy and I’ve stopped even trying to get around it at this point and have stopped using the site completely.
So what was the dumbest reason you were banned?
Mine was going into a far right sub that was discussing lord of the rings, for some reason lotr is huge with the far right including the current vp. Anyway all I did was post lotr sucks and a video link to clerks 2 where Randall tells Elias and the customer that the movie is nothing but walking and that the true ending should be frodo bricking into Sam’s mouth.
I got reported and site wide permabanned from a far right sub for gay bashing when the intent was anything but that. That’s when I noticed the glory days of reddit were starting to fade.
No reason at all during the great purge following Trump’s inauguration
I was told that I had harassed a mod, but I hadn’t interacted with anyone
Seems to me that they just purged large numbers of users with anti-Trump content on their account
I was on reddit for nearly 10 years without issue, suddenly I was sitewide banned and every attempt at an appeal went completely unanswered
thats when they started purging, and i people on reddit noticed a huge drop in noise in the political subs, it was right around eleciton and after it. by the time feburary was around we were part of the 3rd ban wave. also thier shadowbanning have increased recently too.
Authoritarians love to silence the opposition
Hmmmmm. I got banned and I did wonder if my numerous anti trump stance had anything to do with it.
Ok I did say that if a person ( not trump, nothing to do with trump ) had purposely run over one of my boys in his car like on the video, that he might end up in hospital. I got banned for threatening violence. I didn’t threaten anyone in my mind. I appealed, no joy.
