News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Has anybody here experienced this? I got banned from Reddit for as far as I'm concerned unfair or no rational reasons. I was just warning people of things and talking political things.

My account is several years old. I am not sure what I did wrong. I was posting political content and certain warnings which included I guess Reddit that was the main part.

I explained how I didn't respect vets doing Trump's betting and lost respect for them. I posted about how the Venezuela war is likely over oil.

All resources, I used to back up with sources. I then warned this one user and it seems the ban was immediate. It was regarding privacy.

I responded to one person talking about content, if it truly hides it. I responded no, and if Reddit's DB is ever exposed. It could be leaked like ATT was. This wasn't illegal or violation of ToS. I was explaining he should talk on there like he does in real life, as if it's his real identity. I got into how Google paid Reddit money to surf their content.

It immediately told me to reset my password. I did. I then noticed none of my posts got any views. I then thought I was shadow banned. So I looked, and then looked in incognito mode. It said my account was suspended.

I appealed it once, no response within 24hrs, I did it again in another 24hrs. I did it under help. I was going through all of my posts deleting them.

I heard on another website, if you find the infringing post, it can possibly lift your ban. So I did. Removed over 100 (took forever). I then woke up, and couldn't even log into my account.

Wrong user/pass, even reset I can't. I removed my 2auth factor earlier. I tried everything since I wasn't getting a single response from Reddit.

Is it gone forever? I thought they would at least give me some kind of explanation of what I did wrong. Nothing, crickets.

I wasn't making a threat to Reddit about their database being hacked. I've had my information leaked multiple times from other forums. I know what it is like. I don't even know how to hack.

The damage is probably done and it's time to give up on that account.
