Lots of people have been banned, across all their accounts, with no recourse, and new accounts suffer the same fate
My fiancée lost over a third of her followers overnight, and asked a mod she knows what was happening.
She was told that anyone who had been banned, for any reason whatsoever was being indiscriminately purged, with device fingerprinting and other mechanisms used to keep them from finding a way back in
Apparently it has been happening in stages, so that’s why there are waves of mass-bans
Reddit seems determined to cut themselves off at the knees, so here’s hoping that Digg and Lemmy can shine and learn from the mistakes of Reddit
Yeah, bans for hate speech etc. are perfectly understandable but being banned for stepping on someone’s toes is pathetic.
It’s also the fact you can’t really appeal it that irks me, they just say they looked at it and will uphold the ban without further comment.
