No warning, not even a “Don’t do it again email” - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That’s it, gone, banned.
I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that’s banned too. FFS!
No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?
It’s actually quite a horrible feeling, initially. I was there from near the beginning, through the glory days to the enshitification. Got banned from a sub by an overzealous mod on AskUK. Then perma-banned for ‘ban-evasion’, simply for using another “throwaway” account, which was common practice for years.
Now I’m on Lemmy I’m never going back, even if I could (which is harder than you might think).
Yes, this place is way smaller, but I’ve met almost no dickheads or bots in the year or so I’ve been here. It’s nice. I had a gander at Reddit the other day and it reinforced my affection for this platform and utter disdain for Reddit in general. They’ve absolutely wrecked it.
Yeah, you’re right, when you’ve been there for so many iconic moments of it, the cumbox, the gobstopper, the coconut, Mr Oglolblo (I can’t believe I can still spell that) It’s been a huge part of growing up I guess, but yeah, my doomscrolling has improved massively, the quality of content here is better. I just need to make the leap and delete reddit for good.
