, I was just correcting someone over a movie detail that involved transgender but did not criticize trans people

spezland reddit bans anyone and anything that is either involves verboten subjects, which includes even casual discussion of bigotry or violence against others, including against what it defines as minorities.

That it’s pointless trying to make appeals, spez doesn’t give a fuck. Fuck you spez.

Permabans are just that. Wait 100 days for your IP info to be cleared from their system and set up a new account… OR… do the better thing, and stay here and help build up a friendliwer, less censored, more decentralized group of forums.

I was 2 weeks shy of 15 years on Reddit, got sniped by a 'bot for a metaphorical statement and was banned… Found old lemmy.zip, signed up and started expanding to other servers and picking up subscri[ptions on different instances - t’s amazing! - its like Reddit was when I first found it in 2009, and I haven’t skipped a beat or missed Reddit one bit.

Dig in your heels and stick around and build / find a nicer community here. When the penny drops on how the comms work and the instances are federated, you will find there is more variety than you know.

Lemmy is WAAY better.

Sorry, you’re screwed. Reddits permaban is a pretty strong one. I had my account permabanned a few years ago, and nothing could be done about it, especially since you created a new account to circumvent the ban, it’s the final nail in the coffin.

Don’t worry though, I don’t think you are missing anything. Matter of fact, I was able to circumvent the Ban, when I got a new phone, but you have to create a new account with a completely new email address. Or if you’re on computer, just changing the operating system and doing the rest like I said is enough to circumvent the ban.

Again, I would say use this as an opportunity and try getting off social media app.

Don’t stay away from controversial posts. Everything needs to be in the open, as long as respectful. I’m hoping that Lemmy stays open and avoids bans but I’ve seen some so I worry. Anyway, be glad you got kicked off Reddit. It’s really not great for free thought.

Don’t worry about it, leave it behind, help build this. For the record you’re probably screwed.

You’ll find what you need from there in a search. You just lose the right to comment which is traffic to them, not from.

You’re banned for life as Reddit mods are overzealous and refuse to change their minds. Ban evasion is on Reddit’s side and goes against their TOS. Might as well embrace the Lemmy life - it’s better here anyway and a lot less bots and reposts which was about 80% of Reddit now.

You can still use Reddit for looking up things, you’re just stuck being a permanent lurker - which many do anyway.

Treat it as a blessing instead of a curse. I had like half a mil karma and was pretty pissed for a bit. But this place is better. Less traffic, but the higher quality is denser, once you nail down the curation of your feed.

Make a new account using a different browser on a different wifi connection. Don’t use vpn or tor because those get shadowbanned instantly

I’d suggest escalating the issue if you must get your account back. See if you can find a moderator, administrator, staffer, etc., willing to lend you an ear.

Otherwise, I’d suggest looking for other forums where you can participate in, including here in the fediverse.

How about using a new profile? From a new email and MAC address, through vpn.
