I have had multiple accounts through 15 years on reddit but reddit has become hardcore ban happy and I’ve stopped even trying to get around it at this point and have stopped using the site completely.

So what was the dumbest reason you were banned?

Mine was going into a far right sub that was discussing lord of the rings, for some reason lotr is huge with the far right including the current vp. Anyway all I did was post lotr sucks and a video link to clerks 2 where Randall tells Elias and the customer that the movie is nothing but walking and that the true ending should be frodo bricking into Sam’s mouth.

I got reported and site wide permabanned from a far right sub for gay bashing when the intent was anything but that. That’s when I noticed the glory days of reddit were starting to fade.

    for reporting in r/techonology, “you overreported, so its abuse” this was at the beginning when trump and elon were beginning all of thier doge cuts. we are banning you for 7 days, this also triggered a full sitewide ban on all my other accounts in FEB. AND many of these range from 5-10+years old acct.

    and then recently as 1-2months ago my only account had a comment removal by a mod, then apparently shadowbanned after they forced a password change, when i decided to log in my account from firefox fork.

    and then we found out from other sites and forums that reddit is banning indiscriminately so there will be less users on the site, that way its easier to manage, and force a read-only site.
