I was on Reddit for 10 years, and I have absolutely no clue why I was banned. I just moved, so maybe it was because my new ISP dealt me a bad IP?

Anyway, Reddit:

  1. Has no email, and doesn’t respond to e-mails.
  2. Doesn’t respond to mod mail, doesn’t tell you why you were banned.
  3. Doesn’t respond to appeal.
  4. Autobans any user I create.
  5. Seemingly doesn’t give a shit about it’s long-term users.

I guess from here on out I’m a… Lemming? Lemmyzen? Lemmy user?

Anyway thanks for having me! Reddit was shit anyway. I’ve been without it for a week now, and my life has definitely improved lol

    You’re not disagreeing with anything I said. You’re talking about a completely different issue which I’m certainly sympathetic to.

    Because I do get the sense that users are more easily banned these days at the admin level. Having slow or non-existent customer service doesn’t seem to be helping either, based on the anecdotes you all are sharing.

    Btw, feel free to list or PM me your Reddit account name. I can run it past some reputation checkers to check it out…

      My main was vtuber-love. I also posted under isekai-hero and DemonLordDoom.

      https://www.reddit.com/user/vtuber-love/ https://www.reddit.com/user/isekai-hero/ https://www.reddit.com/user/DemonLordDoom/

      I have filed multiple appeals and contacted the mods using several alts. The last message I got suggested I’ve been banned for “multiple repeated content violation under my alternate accounts” or something like that, which I think means they’re keeping my ban in place because I posted under alts while my main was banned.

      But the ban on my main account was bogus. Which puts them in a catch-22. If my main account didn’t deserved to be banned, then I wasn’t breaking any rules by posting on alts.

      It seems like they just have a stick up their butt. I have apologized multiple times. I’ve informed them I never plan to post on that subreddit ever again. I’ve suggested a temporary ban instead, like 1 week would be fine. But nothing seems to get through to them. How can they be so completely inflexible?

        My goodness…

        Sorry if you felt I was rude, above, mate.
        I’ll try to take a closer look when I get a chance. :S

        Good hunting, in any case!
