News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So, I know this isn't a help forum or anything but, being Lemmy I'd think some people are on the same boat as me too.

I got permanently Banned in reddit for vote manipulation, I foolishly and childishly used 2 accounts to up vote myself to make it seem I was winning arguments. I then created a new account to start fresh but I didn't know that counted as a Ban Evasion(I didn't know ban Evasion was a thing), but that got banned too.

I've appealed by apologizing since I am guilty and genuinely sorry , however I'm not a spambot or anything. I made a mistake and just want a second chance.

Is there anything else I can do to start fresh "safely"? (factory reset my android device? I Can't change my external IP tho) Has anyone been on a similar situation and gotten their account reinstated?

Being honest I like Lemmy but it's nowhere near as populated as Reddit, sadly

I had two fairly old reddit accounts (10+ years and 100s or thousands of comments and post karma) get nuked without them giving me a reason. They just said I broke TOS. I appealed and asked what rule I broke and it was instantly denied. I still have no clue what rule I allegedly broke.

I tried making a new account with a different email on a new device using a new Internet connection and it got banned after 30 minutes.

Fuck reddit. Banning people and never giving them a reason or a chance to correct their mistake (if they even made one) is ludicrous.

interesting, were you banned within the last month? they went hard in januarary and last week too, not only you but other people were banned. 2 of acc were banned for similar reason that were 5+years old. simply if they detected you commented in a post (with an old account that you deleted and was previously banned) some or all new ones will get the same ban.

currently 1 of my accs that had the pera ban inbox message isnt really banned? i checked the repeal page and it wont let me repeal because it dint detect a ban in place, which makes me think they actually were banning indiscriminately with an AI, and ive heard people were banned in error too. from what ive heard from a different forum, they were banning in waves since November. also the ban was done by an AI.

I made my Lemmy account the day I got reddit banned. So the age of this account is how long ago they nuked my accounts lol
