Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.
libra00@lemmy.world 1 year agoThey 7-day banned me for ‘encouraging violence’ for saying I didn’t think Mangione deserved to go to jail for what he did. I appealed it and it was lifted, but not before it was upgraded to a permanent ban for ban-evasion on other accounts (I’ve never had more than one account in my 14 years of reddit.) The perma-ban was lifted on appeal too, but by that point I was just like fuuuuck off.

Reddit has a feature where there helpfully link your account to stranger’s accounts. When the stranger is banned from any sub, you are too. But you don’t know you are banned from those subs. So when you innocently post, you get perma-banned.
I had no idea that was a thing, nor who I would do it with considering none of my friends or family use reddit. Much less how I could’ve done it without even knowing about it.
Interesting, their filters must be automatically assume a horde of bots are connected
Same thing happened to me. I told a guy to fuck off and got banned for not being nice. I appealed, but before that process completed, they permanbanned my 14 year account. I like that on Lemmy I can say normally uncontroversial things like “Nazi scum fuck off”.
Indeed, Nazi scum can fuck off.
i’ve had various accounts over the years and never gotten hit for “ban evasion”. that being said that suspension was my last straw and i deleted my account.
Yeah, what’s even funnier is after noticing and appealing the temp ban I logged off and the only time I went back was to check my mail for a response which is when I noticed the perma-ban, so between those two time periods I was literally not even on reddit, so I have no idea what the fuck they were on about.

I heard they did that a bunch of other users too, temp ban, resulted in perma ban of other accounts as soon as the temp ban was lifted.

I was perma-banned like 11 hours before my temp-ban was lifted, per the timing on the messages in my inbox, so I think the admins just got a lil carried away with the fashy bullshit and then walked it back a little.
