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.
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!
I got a site-wide permaban almost 2 years ago for a joke in r/losercity that was taken the wrong way and I got dogpiled by virtue-signalling furries. I’ve appealed my ban almost 10 times now and they reject it every time.
I don’t get it. They could have just given me a ban from the r/losercity subreddit instead. They didn’t need to ban me from the entire site. I haven’t caused any problems on other subs. I had over 30,000 karma on my account and it took me years to build it all up. I got along great with people in r/vtubers and r/votv and had a lot of fun there.
It’s so bizarre that one f-up gets a sudden permaban from the entire site. All I can think of is that one of the left-wingers in losercity is in with the admins and they called in a favor. It has to be a nepotism thing.
Yeah same I had 18K karma which I earned over 3 years and was banned over a misunderstanding. All my appeals have been denied. They can get fucked! And honestly yeah I won’t miss all those left wing nut jobs.
You are here because you are banned, I am here because I chose to quit Reddit. We are not the same.

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!
I feel like half of lemmy probably has a ridiculous ban reason on reddit lol
I wish lemmy gets popular and reddit dies suddenly
Im’ praying for that
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.
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!
