What the fuck.

My Reddit account would be 4 years old next week, but for some unknown reason I got permanently banned.

I genuinely don’t understand why, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is part of the enshittification of Reddit Inc. I’ve never posted anything hateful or doxxed someone. Just mainly discussed Dutch football matches. That’s it. I don’t think discussing football breaks Reddit rules, right?

I guess I’m disappointed, because a lot of great, niche communities exist on Reddit which don’t exist on Lemmy yet, so I now have nowhere to discuss some of my hobbies with random strangers on the internet.

Fuck Reddit and their shitty policy.

    I mean it says it was because of what you posted on your other accounts. What did you post on your other accounts?

      Nothing. My other account was only for lurking and I didn’t post anything; no comments, no posts, nothing.

      I only post / comment on my main, but that’s now no longer possible lol.

    I got permabanned for suggesting we should eat rich people too many times. Worth it, no regrets.

    Was there nothing in your inbox like the screenshot suggests?

    I don’t know if it would be something like ban evasion by acknowledging you have multiple accounts or even using a VPN with their crackdown on that.

      I don’t use a VPN for Reddit and while I have another account, it’s not for ban evasion, but rather to have my nsfw activity separate from my personal account.

      No fucking idea what’s happened here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit decided to use AI or some shit to regulate the rules, resulting in random bans.

        Knowing them it has something to do with your nsfw account. Remember they don’t make money from nsfw communities as part of their public filing.

    Got banned for making racist comments. Only the comments weren’t racist. Didn’t even touch on race. Ask any question about it and the mod just does the 28 day mute.

    I got the same thing 9 days ago!

    My work computer was changed that day to a dynamic IP and then boom, when I logged in I was banned!

    Of course my appeal was denied.

    I got banned from every country and city subreddit for commenting on /r/conspiracy.
