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?
Yes and no, I guess, I don’t know… I used it every day for almost 20 yrs, It became part of my daily routine. I’m really liking it here though, it feels way less ‘shouting into the void’ and more inclusive, kinda like early reddit.
Very much so.
Two things killed Reddit for me.
Bot bans for basically everything.
Over-saturated to the point that your comments almost never get interacted with. So…what’s the point?
Same here! I used to leave comments in the early days of Reddit, but then it became clear that many posts I was replying to were just karma farming or bots.
Seeing that made me just stopped using it as anything other than a content aggregator, and only through the 3rd party apps.
When they basically killed API access I moved here. It doesn’t have the niche communities that are on Reddit, but when I need information from those I just search it up.
Welcome to the fediverse! I too have had my IP permabanned from reddit for hurting conservative feefees.
the fingerprinting is pretty extensive, your browser size, screen resolution, computer components,etc. it would have to be a new device, IP,a nd different browser, and or long term success requires you to use paid methods.
All of my accounts have been banned, but my wife is able to log in fine from the same IP.
