The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.

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.)

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 have done it with considering none of my friends or family use reddit. Much less how I could've done it without even knowing about it.
