So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for ‘encouraging violence’, for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from Der Fuhrer spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the ‘offending’ comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit’s rules with my ‘other account(s)’. Well that’s also bullshit because I’ve had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I’ve been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I’m gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.
Your not the only one, I heard others were reddit banned soon after their temp ban ended
I was perma-banned 11 hours before my temp-ban appeal was lifted. Then I was unbanned, but they sent a message saying my ban would stay. I think they’re just falling over themselves in their headlong rush to embrace fascism.
i heard mods were even complaining about this on modhelp sub, early in jan and feb, thier filters are still recognizing accts as ban evaders despite it being lifted sitewide, they are definitely and intentionally using an AI to filter ban alot of people, probably have certain parameters.
