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.

    you can expect right wing trolls to be on new forums, because they already been banned on reddit, and others a while ago, they need a place to fester.

      Jesus,

      I got banned from Reddit for saying “bad bot” to one of them, which was apparently “violent speech”

      Reddit has always been right-wing, but now it’s fucked

      Banned across my SFW and NSFW account too

      It’s a pain, but hopefully Lemmy grows and Digg becomes a success

        im glad there is a forum out there that specializes in evading bans from social media platforms, serves them(corporate) right.

          They use device fingerprinting, so the bans are permanent

          I don’t want to be a part of reddit any more

          I don’t want them to make any money out of me

            besides that they also look for other things beyond that. because the most sophisticated evaders(the of fans and link farmers) are using paid methods to hide from that detections.
