Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it’s the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.
FUCK YOU, SPEZ!

Ugh. So much to unpack here.
First off, you have to act like a massive shit-loaf to get perma’ed from Reddit in the first place. Now you’re declaring your love for this community because you can’t get back into Reddit.
Welcome, I guess.
Right. More often than not when these posts pop up you can check their comment history and see exactly why they keep getting banned.
In a lot of cases, yes. Not in all of them, due to bot-based bans.
Untrue
Yep I got permabanned for saying I’d lick the sweat out of a fat chick’s folds for €20
Maybe the price was too high, I dunno
Should’ve stuck to posting on /r/paytolickfatfolds
I had an account perma’d there for saying “the only good nazi is a dead nazi” which I accept was against TOS but would argue does not make me a “massive shit-loaf”
Amazingly his account here is banned now. I would argue that does make him a “massive shit-loaf”
I got permabanned arguing with right wing trolls. I don’t think I was too bad, but maybe?
Who can say, right? The gears of Reddit are inscrutable.
That said, when you engage with an extremist, there’s always 20 other extremists looking at your replies and just waiting to report you if you say the slightest mean thing. They are mucilaginous troglodytes and one mustn’t extend to them the credence that they’re dealing in good faith.
Yeah, I assume I got mass reported and the admins either didn’t care to look at it or they’re extremists themselves
You’ll get reported as a suicide risk. You gotta love those messages.
It’s actually not too hard to get perma’d due to a handful of bullshit/nonsensical bans that just stack up over time. Also, they were VERY liberal with the permaban hammer around when they announced the API lockdown.

I got permabanned on Reddit (it got turned around because even the mods of the subreddit and of other subreddits said it was bullshit) for making a joke about wishing Indiana’s attorney general got punched in the face because he said something about something being a punch in the face. Like they banned me for jokingly wishing what he said happened to him metaphorically would just happen to him. Not saying someone should do it, certainly not saying I would do it, just wishing that it would happen. Permaban from all of Reddit for a joke that didn’t actually call for violence and was clearly just referencing the post’s headline.
Incorrect
I got banned by a bot because I went into an antivax subreddit to question them. The fact I posted on a “forbidden” subreddit got me auto banned by about a dozen subreddits, instantly. There was NO attempt to check the comment for context. Then I forgot I was banned by one of them and months later posted with another account and got permabanned for ban evasion. A 10 yr account down the drain.
post the usernames?
I got banned from several subreddits for participating in r/conspiracy. By participating, i did some kind of bit with another user about OJ prices.
Yikes
My partner doesn’t use reddit and hasn’t used lemmy. She was permabanned despite not commenting or posting for about 6 months. The comments that were there were just asking questions about video games.
No reason or explanation was given. The only recent behaviour was subscribing to a trans-supportive community. We figure that might have pissed off an admin somehow. That’s the only activity that she did during those 6 months. If either of us should have been banned, it should have been me, to be honest. We have different IPs, so there shouldn’t have been any confusion on who was who. My account stayed active, even though I admittedly wasn’t always friendly with people. Every account she made was also banned without reasoning.
I initially stopped using it because I thought that was dumb, then a few months later the whole API thing happened.
Best of luck to you, I hope you continue to have a better experience than we did lol.
I can’t imagine a greeting more Lemmy than that

Nope. It was due to participation in the black out protests.
