Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn’t that a stretch?
I’ll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it’s not allowed. My comment didn’t include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I’m banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn’t realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like “xyz walked out” and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.
I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.
You are here because you are banned, I am here because I chose to quit Reddit. We are not the same.

I feel like half of lemmy probably has a ridiculous ban reason on reddit lol
I wish lemmy gets popular and reddit dies suddenly
Totally. And given the way that YouTube is basically collapsing, handing itself over to unbridled AI sloppage, I’d also like to see an alternative to YouTube (like peertube) take over.
Im’ praying for that
Same here honestly
I deserved my ban. I can’t help but to tell magats what I think of them, because they should be made to feel how terrible their choice was at any and every opportunity!
I was permabanned for a metaphorical post. Two weeks short of 15 years. Oh well, I found Lemmy and haven’t skiped a beat and it’s WAAAAY nicer here. Like Reddit was before 2010. Fun, friendly and laid back.
Welcome to the party!
doom
When? Reddit behaves this way because it can afford to. A thousand trolls here, a handful of influencers there, Reddit wouldn’t notice if they’re gone.
Idk I’ve noticed a lot of people complain that they got banned for silly reasons. Mine was silly too. Plus a site wide ban? That’s ridiculous! Reddit going mainstream is its biggest curse. I’ve legit seen comments with death wish, threats and none of those are banned.
I was banned for breaking an unwritten rule. Using slur words in any context is racism or homophobia.
I literally got banned for the same reason for LIFE. And my original ban was for a misunderstanding. I even spoke to the moderators and they said they are lifting my ban. So when I commented in ‘marriage’ with another account I assumed it wasn’t banned from there anymore. So I got done for ‘ban evasion’ and then all of a sudden they banned all my accounts and I think my IP address. It was insane! I had 18K karma which I earned over 3 years. Every single time I have appealed they have denied me. Seriously go screw them!
Yeah, I sympathize with you. I got banned from Reddit too
I’m still not sure why I was perma-banned, I know I had some thoughts the day off about what I might have commented, but now it’s been many months and I wouldn’t even know how to look anything up. I think I’d had around 4 accounts over 10 years with easily 1m karma. The last two I just used interchangeably on different devices. One got banned and all I had to do was open the other one and it was immediately banned, too. Probably by IP address. I used the site a lot, I was a top 1% commenter in lots of subs. ¯_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯
Yeah, this unfortunately. Some Reddit moderators are too hostile, I believe people Change for the better and some people do deserve second chances, I tried to apologize to a Reddit mod for unintentionally for breaking a subreddit’s rules. That same Reddit mod accused me for being a tribalist and doing tribalism. I am not a tribalist and I don’t support tribalism
