I'm banned off reddit. It was only a generic message i got saying I violated multiple rules. First it was my alt and then my main hours later. I have no idea what happened. Maybe me being on a public wi fi at a hotel and then someone there logged in two weeks later with a banned account so it got connected to mine.

With lemmy was active as reddit. Now it's just a read only site for me.

I saw i had a proxy IP but I can't even help that because it's automatic and I have no idea how to change it. I'm tech illiterate. I know some places will ban you for a proxy. I've gotten that accusation before on a forum and I knew nothing about proxy IP. I only guessed that assumption came from me moving house 5 times in 1 year because I was a young adult. My parents, my own, my aunt and uncles, my ex, then my apartment and we have had to change internet providers a few times for cost. But the mods used that as a scapegoat to blame other issues in me other users did I didn't do, especially when I got impersonated. Sorry for living lol. Humans move you know and access the internet wherever. Some people use a paid vpn to keep their IP consistent because they access the internet all over because they travel a lot for work.

Maybe I was banned for my proxy UP, who knows. I never ban evaded. I never created a new account to evade a ban. Both my accounts existed before the ban wave. I take website policies seriously. If I am so butthurt by someone, I block them and move on than following them and commenting on their posts or getting into petty arguements.

Right wings lie bout wanting freedom of speech. They just want to sprout racist stuff and other phobic stuff. They treat LGBT like it's a fetish.

Wait, many users are being banned right now?

I never ban evaded and I don't know how I would multi bot. Reddit says we can have more than one account just as long as we don't break the rules. I followed what their policy said. They even say make a new account if you don't like your username but I'm afraid their bot will just ban you for posting in the same subreddits you did with your other account or if you get baned, your posts on your older account could show up as a ban evasion if one of the mods comes across your older post. I'm speculating this is how I was banned.

I guess shreddit all your comments first before moving onto a new account but what if reddit sees that as you trying to get around the rules and stuff when they said you would need to make a new account if you want to change your username.

I'm surprised they let me play it as a banned user.

I hear they disable/delete your account but they let me keep mine. "Oh we will let you log in but you can no longer post. Oh we will let you vote still and play this nice little game for April Fools in r/field. Oh we will let you have a new account for a half hour to modmail the admins. Oh we will let you save posts and delete your own comments."

My reddit experience right now.

You're late to the party, the reddit admins fixed that error with their bot when they got many complaints and users using Luigi Mario character as a meme. One if the admins announced it in their post.

I will never use smart technology. I prefer analogue technology. Imagine using a subscription in your home for lights and TV and AC and heat and appliances and then boom, they decide to terminate your subscription and now your home is inaccessible for habitat.

So you're saying your account doesn't get banned until you post and bam, banned.

Pointless having a unbanned reddit account if you can't post.

Yep, anyone can be homeless.

If you sell your house and are between houses now, technically you are homeless but you're privileged you can live in a hotel or rent a storage unit and couch surf or if you have a friend or family member to stay with. If you have a job, you can still afford shelter and not lose everything. This was my family when my brother was a baby and we just stay with a friend for 2 months until we moved into our new house. Both of my parents had jobs. We were privileged.

If you're evicted because you lost your job or got sick so you were unable to afford to pay your rent. Not all landlords give you a grace period to get behind in rent when something out of your control happened. These people also lose everything if they had no friends or family to help out. If they live paycheck to paycheck, they couldn't save money. Many Americans are one paycheck away from homelessness. It just means if they get sick or get into an accident or lose their job, they're screwed.

We no longer own our products. We just pay to use it until they decide you can no longer use their service. What happens if they mysteriously shut down your account without warning?

That is what happened to a guy and he had to get court involved and then he found out his account was flagged for CP by their algorithm because he had a video of his 19 year old ex. False bans do happen. I couldn't find that story again sadly to share.

Also, make sure you always have back up turned off or have one drive not installed on your phone. If you're a parent, be careful what photos you take of your children because if those get backed up to cloud, their AI will kill your account because it can't tell between CP and normal family photos.

I actually want to own our products than make accounts to use.

Being perm banned without warning and no reason given. Just happened random. So I started to look for an alternative.
