Thought it might be interesting… what absurd reason were you banned for? And how were you told?

    I got banned for suggesting that someone should push trump down some stairs.

    As of yesterday, I can’t open Reddit without being incognito. No idea why.

    No idea, it was random. I even looked through my comments to see any deleted content from reddit. I guess I was site wide banned for saying a killer is less dangerous if he only kills child predators. It was to an article about a man killing his cell mate for sexually abusing a kid. People in the comments praised him for it but other users had to remind them he is in prison for killing other people. I said he would be less dangerous if he had only killed child predators. That got me lot of upvotes. I couldn’t find this comment of mine so I assumed reddit removed it.

    I also said another time how a kid had to die for the mom to finally get help from the state. The kid froze to death when the mom was homeless with her kids living in the car. Then the state of Michigan grants her a house when that should have happened before one of her kids froze to death. Obviously redditers knew what I meant because they upvoted it. I wasn’t citing violence for kids to die for parents to get assistance from the state. Yet reddit never alerted me so I could appeal it. There is nothing in my messages about what content of mine violated their sitewide rules which makes me think it was done by AI than by a human.

    I guess this was citing violence against a group of people. :/

    I dared to suggest that Luigi had the right idea, and that we needed more such patriots. Also that he was perhaps not guilty. Reddit mods are absolute MAGASs. And if you suggest that, they will ban you. My ban is permanent, because I may have interrupted their marathon Trump-inspired masterbation sessions. Fuck them.

    They didn’t tell me. They just made it so that leaving a comment doesn’t work anywhere in any subreddit. “Empty response from endpoint.” Website has a different useless error message.

      My Lemmy suggestions only got shadowbanned so far. Have they moved on to more radical action?

    Oh I can help, as this is why I’m here on Lemmy now after 12 years (happened last week).

    1. My username. No, seriously I tried to join r/ElonMusk and they banned me.
    2. Then I switched to my normal (*non-troll killer) account, and got banned.
    3. They said I was evading my ban from another account?
    4. I was informed I had a week long ban, immediately deleted my main account and told them to pound Russian sand.

    I have no idea other than I use a VPN. I mostly scroll, occasionally reply/comment and rarely post. I don’t spam, use bots or APIs. I received no email nor explanation. Just can’t login permanently, and it’s not a credentials issue. Fuck Reddit.

      VPN has been banned by most social media, REDDIT started doing it last year, they have been aggressively pursuing similar things like proxy servers too. people used this to heavily bot, and spam on reddit, plus they cant mine your data so all the social media made it useless.

        Shoot, we have a proxy IP and I have no idea how to not have one. Plus my husband uses avg that blocks websites tracking him. He isn’t banned on reddit but he’s never posted anything. Only read.

    I was banned from a subreddit for expressing positive feelings about Luigi Mangioni.

    …But that was on Reddit, and it’s why I’m here now.

    I posted a Mario kart pic and referenced the ceo killer Luigi. I got a 3 day ban, but they then perma banned me 5 hours later saying I bypassed thier ban. I didn’t as I was asleep, but whatever … it all worked out.

    I called a very young and immature mod on a rollerskating forum a butthead because when I nicely said I thought inline skating should be an allowed topic in the forum, she rudely replied, in periods, as though she.was.clapping.in.my.face. I told her I hope she enjoys her failed community. I’m pretty sure she made it sound like I threatened her rather than predicted that her rigid rules would cause the sub to decline. I got permanently banned on my 10+ years account for having been reprimanded before during the pandemic.

    The other time I got in temped banned, someone posted that Trump had Covid back in the pandemic, and I said I hoped Trump got what he deserved. They said it was a death threat.

    I’ve been harassed unprovoked -usually by MAGA, and no one ever got in trouble. I got rid of my Reddit yesterday- banned earlier in the week.

    Reddit is being run like a middle school clique. I’m fully done with it. It’s garbage now.

      If you ask me it speaks more to what they think he deserves if they instantly assumed you meant death 🤷‍♂️
