What the fuck.

My Reddit account would be 4 years old next week, but for some unknown reason I got permanently banned.

I genuinely don’t understand why, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is part of the enshittification of Reddit Inc. I’ve never posted anything hateful or doxxed someone. Just mainly discussed Dutch football matches. That’s it. I don’t think discussing football breaks Reddit rules, right?

I guess I’m disappointed, because a lot of great, niche communities exist on Reddit which don’t exist on Lemmy yet, so I now have nowhere to discuss some of my hobbies with random strangers on the internet.

Fuck Reddit and their shitty policy.

    Not saying this like it’s your fault. Just my theory. The message says you have ACCOUNTS plural.

    Did you have more then one reddit account that you used ? Reddit doesn’t have a built in feature in the user settings SHOWING US WHICH COMMUNITIES WE ARE BANNED FROM.

    So.

    If you have more then one account, you can post and comment on the communities that you are banned from on your other account. Because there’s no list you can check to see if you are banned.

    You could end up commenting from your other account on a sub your main account is banned from and that is called ‘Ban evasion’ and consequences for that is permanently banning all your accounts.

    To me it looks like they probably have all our accounts synced up and a list of our banned communities to keep tabs. And they make sure we don’t know so well forget and Ban evade on accident.

      It’s a sound theory, however I am not banned from any subreddit as far as I’m aware of, so ban evasion can’t have been the reason.

      Although, as I mentioned in another comment, I have another account, but that’s mainly used for my nsfw stuff.
