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.

    THIS is a key point that most don’t understand. There are some auto mod filters that will automatically block your post or comment, but it doesn’t result in a ban. Site wide bans happen because of “reports” which draws the attention of Admins

      not anymore, now shadowbans are issued automatically by an AI, on any account that resembles a bot, even if you are not a bot, or now they are looking for sudden IP and browser changes too.
