Okay, posting this here because it is literally called No Stupid Questions, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.
I got a message today on Reddit saying I was permabanned . . . I had really good karma there, never received any notification that I had done anything wrong, and never had a post deleted. The message said to check my inbox for more details . . . but there were no details in my inbox. I tried to appeal, and it was just denied in a couple of hours. No explanation.
Anyone else experience this or know what other avenues I can take? I’m going to be honest here, I had made a lot of friends there. I suppose I could make a throwaway account to let them know where else they can find me, but I’m pretty bummed out.
For context: I kind of prided myself as being a “Ted Lasso of Reddit.” I mostly just got on to give people pep talks in the beginner fitness and /toastme subreddits. I’m going to miss that a lot, and I kind of needed a community right now, even if it was an online one. But, hey, maybe that’s just my sign to check out this place instead. I’ll try to look at the bright side.
I got permabanned for suggesting too many times that we should eat rich people (was joking, obviously.) They also permabanned my wife and her cousin who lived in our basement, I assume because we were on the same wifi? We all appealed and never got any response about it. I don’t really care about my ban, and my wife never posted and neither did her cousin so they didn’t care much, but it’s like bro, that’s not fair that they got banned as well.
When I say we should eat the rich I’m not joking, I’m just not being literal.
Yeah I wasn’t really joking either. But I’m here now and they don’t seem to care as much about silly little things like talks of Revolution and cannibalism.
Nationalizing oligargach’s stakes in mega corpos would be a nice snack 🐸
I think it’s time to let your wife and cousin out of the basement now.
But hey, sorry to hear about those bans. Yes it affected your basement dwellers due to the same IP. You can get a decent VPN for about $50 per year which hides your IP address.
Yeah but now their devices are coded into the ban too. We’ve since moved to a different city, but I haven’t tried making an account on a different device because I just don’t care. I like Lemmy better.
Wow I didn’t know this. I must’ve got my new laptop at the same time as VPN then. And yes I’m new here and trying to stop browsing Reddit.
Was u tho?
Hmmm
Oh, no, I definitely deserved that ban if we’re looking at it strictly from a terms and services violation standpoint. Also they 3 day banned me several times and warned me. My fault for sure.
Expressing common political sentiment that happens to hurt the parasites feels is a ToS violation?
Hmmm I wonder why
Eitherway, you did nothing wrong and fuck reddit and their bootlicker mods. Pathetic
Lol dude I know. Designed to keep the peasants down. But that’s okay, they can’t stop me from suggesting we eat the rich on Lemmy, or in person constantly, and they never will.
