Pro tip, just about the worst way to introduce yourself here is to mention you are here because you were banned on reddit.
Sadly, that's like the free space on the "What brought you to the Fediverse?" bingo card.
I still have an account in good standing there that I don't use because I can't use Apollo.
Same. I moved because of the API debacle in 2023 (my original account was on .world) not because I was asked to leave.
Same here.
I was proudly banned from Reddit
I was a mod of a top ten sub. I was banned for:
Banning Nazis
Reporting bots
Reporting gooner/csam subs (when the admins did nothing, I reported them directly to the FBI)
I made work for the admins, and they didnโt like it.
And here I am, simply shadowbanned for using a VPN.
I was regular banned for using a VPN.
I live somewhere where I have to be on VPN all the times. Is there anyway to circumvent the VPN BAN?
Don't use reddit.
Use a VPS
Reddit ban you for using VPN!! But I live somewhere where I have to be on VPN all the times
I am proud to have been banned from reddit
I was proudly banned from Reddit
And instantly I already know you're interesting and think for yourself. Because you don't follow the echo chamber like a good little redditor does.
Kudos to you!
Got banned from reddit for telling someone the views they espoused were fascist in nature. Proud of it.
Who hasn't been banned from reddit at least once?
Eh, it's the same as anywhere else.
Bans are red flags, that's not the same as a "do not enter" sign. There's accounts on here that create communities no one else posts to, just so they can ban people they argue with in other places. Weaponizing the modlog for people that (for some reason) just blindly believe everything in the modlog.
It's a weird move for OP to say being here isn't a choice. But you can get banned from reddit for all types of shit, some is admirable and some you'd get banned from anywhere for saying.
