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?
Huh. I've never got pinched for ban-evasion before despite very regularly using alts to comment in subs where I had previously been banned. I don't honor perma-bans on principle because I think they're ridiculous, but I do self-impose a 30-day ban to let things cool down a bit and avoid attracting suspicion.
Not sure what my secret sauce was, but it was never an issue for me over the 15 or so years I used Reddit.
That said, I'd take this as an opportunity to just stop using Reddit altogether.
Na, apparently they do have the ability to track who and where you make accounts.
I've similarly made efforts to discuss and condemn the brutal genocide in Gaza on reddit and found myself with a perma-ban.
I'm only going to hazard a guess, but somehow reddit knows which devices your accounts have previously been logged in on, and will automatically ban your new account after 1 day.
I've tried using VPNs, virtualized desktops, different devices, made accounts on devices that I have never logged in on, but then when I use the new account on my regular device, it gets banned.
Spez got a taste of that good Israeli money and now outright bans users for questioning or criticizing the Zionist machine. Welcome to the weaponization of the greatest tool humanity ever created - the Internet.
SImilar way Iranian generals where tracked and executed. Best to stop using reddit altogether. I mean that website is filled with AI regurgitating trash posts and content to attract young human users
