I apparently got fucking shadow banned for fucking using a VPN??? What the actual fuck.I can’t do anything, and I tried making a new account only to get shadowbanned just a day later. I am now banned on my main account + 2 other acocunts, because reddit sucks, and apparently the solution is to appeal DAILY until I get unbanned?
Is there any actual solution than spamming an appeal button every day?
Not to be the guy with same complaint as everyone else, but I got a permanent ban for telling an abusive mod to fuck off. I had a 15 year old account as well. I tried to appeal but that was denied. Hard to believe it’s the end of the road with that site, especially just for telling someone to “fuck off.” I admit I said that, but give me a break. Mod reported my last four comments—none of which were controversial—to make it a permanent ban. Or at least this is why I’m guessing why he reported so many of my comments.
But honestly, good riddens. I feel like Reddit is just full of right wing freaks, 10 year olds, and bots now. Just have to adapt to not checking Reddit first. So far I’m liking Lemmy, but still getting the hang of it.
Anyway, allow me to join the chorus of people (not bots) saying “Fuck Reddit.”
Not quite the same, but since Reddit doesn’t want you there, why not try feeding other forums? There’s plenty outside of the fediverse too.
This happens to everyone who is a human. Reddit is only bots…
reddit is dead internet theory in action.
this is a precise example of why.
i was also permabanned for calling a literal nazi, a literal nazi. ill let you guess who, and when that happened. it shouldnt be hard.
its been dead for a while, a post on reddit a few years ago was glossed over as anothing burger, when in fact after thier major purges reddit realized they ban to many users.
They won’t listen to appeals anymore and haven’t for quite sometime, so appealing is just wasting time.
Spez got what he wanted, he doesn’t give a fuck about you anymore or anyone who bothers using that shitty platform.
thier AI does all the banning now, so its unlikely they will listen to MOST of them anyways. i rarely see people getting unbanned on the shadowban sub.<1%, people have been appealing 6-12months already. i stopped after 5 months of doing it. better off using a different device, new browser and different IP, and avoiding the same problems.
they have been shadowbanning vpn usage since early 2024. the ban evaders use paid methods now.
Shadow banning should be ilegal. Just saying
Why the fuck are you still using reddit at all? You are directly contributing funds via advertising to supporters of fascism and pedophilia.
Literally stop. Cut all contact. Do not respond or interact in any way.
I got perma-banned for anti-nazi comments, so I quit giving them free content.
Woww what the actual fuck? Fucking fascist pieces of shit
Forget Reddit exists has worked for me.
Yes. Not using reddit ffs.

You should have stopped at Fuck Reddit.
Why are trying so hard to talk to people that don’t want you around?
I like how our society places so much responsibility on private companies to manage communities, really what could go wrong. Just institutionally protected employees that are nothing more than power tripping Reddit mods because Reddit hired a decent amount of them and put them in high positions, solidifying the toxic moderator culture they already had.
I’ve seen the admins go on really petty vendettas against people for just mentioning them in threads, shadow banning them for the dumbest reasons. Just know your ban doesn’t mean you failed in any way, this company is just morally bankrupt, as are many other companies like it in several industries.
