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?

    I’m so glad to find this alternative, I’ve hated the platform for years. The down voting culture was toxic, and every time I voiced this I got banned.

    They then started to slowly trial subs with no downvoting and lo and behold, success.

    You cannot delete your account. The button to delete is broken, is that coincidence? They must have some of the best programmers coding on the planet, yet the option to leave is greyed out, hmmm

    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.

    Remains of good old Reddit died soon after the AI industry boom. Now it is just a puppet corpse controlled by evil forces.

    After the shit they’ve pulled in the last few years it’s your fault for using reddit.

    Yes, it’s run by fascist sociopaths. Yes, you are stupid if you continue contributing to the fascist PsyOp.
