Exactly my first thought too.

Lemmy is already better. Digg…isn’t any good yet. Maybe never will be again. Reddit though. Hot trash.

A permanent life ban is a lot though, and I feel bit ashamed :/
What??
You should be proud of it. Print it on a T-Shirt!

Most of the people here left Reddit on purpose, so you may be asking the wrong crowd. What I think you should do is never give Reddit another thought and share content here

Don’t waste your time and move on. I was banned because the algorithm doesn’t understand sarcasm and nobody care if you try to appeal. In fact, the appeal system itself is broken.
stupidperson@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s broken? That sucks.
pandore@lemmynsfw.com 1 day ago
I’m polite saying it’s broken, I rather than think it’s intentionally broken. The users base is so large they don’t care about appeal anymore. It’s too time consuming.

What should you do?
MOVE ON

Wait a year and make a new account. Or don’t. I recommend the latter.

I got my 15yo account banned for saying Palestinians have a right to defend themselves, they claimed I was inciting violence. Never had any account strikes or warnings.
I refreshed my IP and created a new account and never had any problems with ban evasion

I got a life ban for saying idiots riding their motorbikes on pavements deserved a slap.
Reddit is shit.

Got a week long ban for saying Religion is like a penis… It should stay out of children’s mouth because I was posting a paedophile comment. Luckily at the time the appeal process was still working.
Nowaday, you’re better us. If you want to be back on reddit, wait for a few month, there is some chances that by then you don’t get flagged as ban evasion anymore
Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 1 day ago
I’m not bothered about trying to get back now I’ve discovered Lemmy. I did try and evade the ban but they must have flagged hardware info. Despite registering with a VPN and fake email I got shadow banned immediately
My wife uses reddit so don’t want her getting caught up in the ban

Username checks out.
How do you connect to the internet? If it’s cable internet or something similar and you don’t have a static IP address, reboot your router until you have a new IP address and then try making a new throwaway email and using that to make a new reddit account.
But really you should just ditch reddit and if you want to view it without logging in or interacting that is always still possible.

If this is the wrong community, where should I post this lol

This is the right community to escape from Reddit for good, honestly.
RamRabbit@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Naw, you are fine.
ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 1 day ago
No idea, never had a reddit account and not sure there’s a place on the fedi to support a 3rd party site. Just seems an odd thing for a first post on what’s functionally a reddit alternative to ask how to get back on reddit.
Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You’re better off without it tbh. This is coming from someone who had an account on there for 13 years, it used to be okay, but big corps, bots, and especially the owner Spez absolutely ratfucked it into a shadow of its former self. It’s no longer reliable as a source of information or entertainment since it’s roughly 60% bots by volume. You never know if you’re actually talking to a real person on the other end.
If you really want to get back, you’re going to have to be careful about it. You can use a VPN on a device you’ve never accessed reddit on before, and you will likely not be detected. But again you have to be really careful. Even so much as opening a reddit link with your new account logged in on a device/IP your banned account was on almost guarantees your new account will get permbanned within a couple of days. They are unreasonably heavy-handed with ban evasions.

I think everyone here has been banned from there. I joined like a month ago, I think? I had three accounts taken down because of ridiculous reasons just like most people. Kind of like people in jail keep saying “I’m innocent, i didn’t do nothing”. Anyway, i like it here, it’s low-key, not too overwhelming and cluttered like the other one. People are friendlier. So stick around. Also, why are you so freaking out and feeling ashamed or guilty of what happened?
CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Not everyone. I’ve never caught any kind of Reddit discipline. There are a few of us around who indie web/fediverse enthusiasts who deeply believe in the project.
ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
I know it’s not everyone it’s just for dramatic effect. Are you talking about the lemmy project? Can you tell me more if you don’t mind?
disregardable@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
That’s so ridiculous. I bet the warning didn’t even tell you that you couldn’t use another account in the interim.
They don’t seem interested in unbanning these kinds of banned. You can get around it, but they need to have no idea it’s you. There are posts and videos about it. It’s checking your devices and your internet service. You’ll need a new device and internet service. You can never connect your old accounts to them, and you can never log the new device/account into an internet service you used (eg. at your moms). It’s also recommended to take care to not make it obvious you’re the same person. Eg. spend a few weeks just upvoting posts, only go to a few subreddits you didn’t go to before, and slowly add the stuff you liked before.
I’m not bothering, personally.

Mastodon is an order of magnitude better than Bluesky.

I got banned for opposing the genocide in Gaza before it was part of the liberal narrative shelf… Been about a year, I truly don’t care. Listen, besides small communities with older folk, it’s mostly a cesspool. You can still use it as an aggregate, but the less you interact there, the better. It has also become a complete American MAGA site besides small oases of sanity, so it’s just a very annoying experience to talk over there unless you’re part of their team and find what they say normal/funny.

A somewhat similar thing happened to me. Made an admittedly spicy comment on r/FauxMoi on my main account. Got banned from that sub (which was fair). Made a second account months later and inadvertently commented on r/FauxMoi (literally just about a movie premiere date—the story was on my main page) without thinking about my prior account’s ban.
Got immediately perma-banned for ban evasion. I appealed and was ignored. Oh well.
And fwiw, you can still view all the content. Just can’t vote/comment. 🤷
Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
I got shadowbanned from Reddit a few months before I left. I didn’t even know that shadowbanning was a thing. As soon as I learned why my posts weren’t getting any replies at all ever, I emailed in to ask why, and got a canned reply saying that they aren’t going to go into detail. I still have absolutely no idea why it happened. So I just deleted my account and moved over here.
sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
If I were you, I would wait like 4 weeks. Then I would install a fingerprint resistant web browser on your PC, and double check that you aren’t getting fingerprinted.
Then use your phone’s internet connection via mobile hotspot or USB tethering to create a new account. NEVER use this new account from your regular internet connection or regular browser.
Maybe it will work.

You are banned from reddit for life for asking if you are banned outside of reddit.
The sunglasses and suits guys will be around shortly to beat up your computer and teach it a lesson about where it gets its shitty memes from.
devolution@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You are permabanned, IP banned, and device banned. Ask me how I know.

I got a ban for harassment because I messaged someone on Vinted about a basket they were selling
