Clown company doing clown things.

I got banned for telling someone it's important to check for cancer, on a post about a sports person that died from rectal cancer, and I was banned permanently for "harassment".

I appealed and lost.

Sorry, I don't know where or how I broke the rules, can you show and explain it to me?

No

But then how will I avoid breaking rules in the future?

Yes

Nothing new, actually. When I was banned years ago (suspiciously after calling out some astroturfing), they didn't give a reason either.

Yea this recently happened to me. A had an argument with a mod and he reported a non offensive comment I had on his subreddit as a ban evasion. I got suspended for ban evasion despite not having another account. After my suspension ended he reported the exact same comment again giving me a second suspension. After the 3rd time I got banned entirely. 10+ year account with no prior suspensions/bans just gone because of one mod. Between that and RIF being gone, I'm just done with reddit.

It's almost like total control over content and no recourse is the goal! Garbage company, move on from it...

Stop! You've broken the law!

Chances are you engaged in one of the following:

Arguing an objectively correct viewpoint with a moron.

Engaged in political sarcasm.

Made use of hyperbole, facetiousness, or facetious hyperbole.

Made a mod look stupid on their alt. account.

Hurt a fascists feelings.

Engaged in dark humour. (It's like food, not everybody gets it.)

Engaged in anti-reddit activism.

Or just cause.

If you're feeling vindictive you can still request your data under GDPR every 30 days even on banned accounts and they have to comply by law.

My guy, at this point you're only abusing yourself. Time to look at the writing on the wall, that site died months ago (or years ago in my opinion), you will only suffer using it.

No one regrets getting banned from digg.

Isn't it trivial anyway, since you can still create unlimited anonymous accounts via old.reddit? I guess getting banned may actually matter for the subs that have a karma minimum to post, but...

...You could also just not use reddit.

Ban their domain name in yours "hosts" file

Stop giving them views and complain about it

Reddit? That’s still a thing?

I got banned from Reddit while I was on a work trip to the USA. Hadn't posted in over a year at the time. I'm absolutely mystified as to why.

They refer you to the content policy but they won't tell you which post might violate it. I asked a few times what it was that caused the ban, but they either just referred to the content policy or once they said "Repeated violations". I actually requested my user data so I could stick up my complete post history publicly and see if anyone else could figure it out. My username was / is sirdeadbeef on reddit.

I haven't put any work into displaying them nicely, this is the format you get them in if you request your data:

Reddit is trash

This just so bad on so many levels.

Reddit, people, need to explain why; is it a insta ban ? If you’re not explaining the reason nor linking the post in question; you’re offering zero path back

One more reason to delete Reddit

If I get banned for silly comments I'll find a new instance.

I've never been banned

"appeal" just means you are gonna waste time typing a message to a smelly incel dog walker on a power trip that isn't gonna read it. Fuck that place.

Reddit has been aggressively banning people for many years. People used to cheer it on because it was mostly aimed at conservatives, but they've expanded and created what appears to be a first-strike policy with no appeal. Now it's affecting everyone. I support consistent application of the rules, but their rules are petty, arbitrary, and broad. A famous example is how they ban people for racism, unless it's racism towards white people. That was literally written into the site rules until recently.

I think Reddit is a lost cause. They peaked long ago and now they're coasting on their moat. As other services like Lemmy gain traction, Reddit will continue to decline, and they will continue to aggressively monetise the remaining users. The only thing to lament is the information already stored on the site.
