I get banned from reddit all the time for saying things against Israel.
Just clear browser cache and poweroff your cable modem for 15 min, should get ya new IP.
Don't use reddit mobile app, app will track unique device identifier and new account will still be banned.
Firefox+ ublock on desktop and mobile is your friend.

Yeah I got banned for 7 days then used my alt account and got hit with a perma ban. I got banned last summer and have not really regretted it. I was part of the Digg migration so I had been there a long time. I was pissed at first then I realized it really means nothing in the end.
i came from Y'A answers and various forums, never knew digg existed. it seems alternate account seems to recieve a heavier ban than the main one, and its risky to have an extra account. when one of my main accts were temp ban in oct '23 for criticizing israel, i switched to a backup older account thinking it would be safer with an old account, i managed the whole year(although i think get many warnings an 1 sub ban) only til feb i recieve the full arsenal of bans
It's funny how we used to have this trope of the mighty censorship bureau that has to rubberstamp everything (like they do for movies) but the reality is that the sycophants will trip over themselves to censor their neighbors in order to please those above. In Reddits case you have subreddit mods banning and censoring to please the reddit mods, who are trying to please reddit management, who are trying to please people like Musk, who are trying to please Trump. Trump doesn't have to say anything, those low level Mods are doing all the censoring for him pro bono.
mainly musk was complaining, and he was getting people banned. everytime the gop or musk complained the reddit initiate one of thier famous purges. now they are including vague responses in a ban message so it reduces thier liability, and gives them plausable excuses to ban people.
Spez is a spineless cuck.
I got banned for saying Andrew Tate fans are fucking retarded.
Genuinely an insult to actual mentally disabled people comparing them to tate groupies.
They hated him because he spoke the truth.
First permaban was for asking: "Any updates on Mitch McConnell? I could use some good news." Mod appeal denied
Then on another account a year later (bc I got so many death threats from Nazis on Reddit), I forgot I had a ban on that sub and said, "We should spend money feeding our kids instead of spending it to blow up someone else's kids." And that was an IP ban.
Crazy, I've seen literal Nazis on there not even get comments removed. We live in dark times.
the first reason was ridiculous, jyust for asking that question? you know it turning right wing, when you cant even IMPLY things. i used accounts like you did, dint get ban that aggressively, maybe because i was also using multiple locations, confused reddit for a while.
Holy crap that is EXACTLY what happened to me this week. I wasn’t top contributor or anything so grand but I got a 7 ban after criticizing imperialism which after making an appeal that was rejected. I literally did nothing afterwards but woke up to a perma ban that was issued several hours after with no indication of why.
it seems they are site-wide banning people after thier 1-week temp ban? i had one before they immediately banned all my other accounts, eventhough those havnt participated in those subs i got banned recently. they are also looking for any old accounts you may have banned from, so they are retroactively applying to all your accounts.
Welcome, c'mon in outta the cold. There's a warm spot of ere
Congrats. Now you can go to lemmy.ml and get banned for the exact same thing.
Same, happened to me hours ago, with no message stating why, or no recourse.
Elon whined to Spez to do something about Redditors being mean to him.
I guess it worked. Fuck both of them.
I got banned about a year ago for... checks notes repeatedly calling a genocidal army "bastards" =,D
Edit... ok maybe I called them sons of bitches and nazis.
I upvoted a comment that was just a gif of Luigi Luigi (from Nintendo) smoking a cigarette.
"Promoting/glorifying violence"
Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Fuck Elon.
My leaving was originally from the api cost changes, I had payed for a 3rd party reader years ago and all of a sudden my lifetime of no ads was gone and I had to pay. This change was admittedly after reddit decided to follow twitters api cost changes. I am supprised at how close Elon and spez seem to be, given that I don't know of any photos of the two of them, they they probably only know each other as CEO's.
they are in cahoots with each other, since spez have openly love how elon "moderates" twitter, make sense why it resembls it now.
I cant even tell you what I got banned for because they banned me without saying why. I dont even know the last thing I was talking about was finding anime in the style of berserk.
Consider yourself lucky to be off that fascist bootlicking platform
Same loool Let’s make Lemmy grow and leave any centralised social network.
Sounds good to me!
I got my 10+ year old account permabanned for saying “trans women are women”, which somehow went against their rules about promoting violence. No warning given or anything. Appeal went ignored.
"Edolf" lol. My pet name for Trump is Liddle Shitler.
Likewise.
My first offense was recommending that we bring back the guillotine.
My second offense was saying that MTG and fElon needed to get punched in the face after they said that Sesame Street was woke trash that needed to be canceled.
Fuck those vile pieces of shit!
Over 13 years and a quarter million karma later, it has come down to this.
Also here after a reddit ban. Mine was also politically motivated.
I watched admins remove a comment that was not violent, no profanity, nothing like that. The offense: the commenter described what "black-bagging" was, in reference to the immigrants being abducted around the country. Someone asked what "black-bagging" meant, he replied with one sentence just explaining the meaning of the term, comment nuked within five minutes.
I then told this story in another comment in another thread. Didn't say shit about Musk or Trump. Just told the story of how reddit admins wouldn't let this guy explain what black-bagging meant.
Permanent ban within one hour for "ban evasion." Never been banned prior. It was my first and last reddit ban.
Fuck spez, fuck reddit, fuck the rest of em all.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
There is these blanket responses that goes like this: "Free speech is only that the government can't punish you" and "It's a private company it can moderate how it wants". I take a lot of issue issue with it. In our times the wast majority of speech takes place on online on privately owned plattforms. I don't se what the point is in freely submitting to a world where only corporate approved speech is allowed.
I was already iffy about Reddit since the r/place #fuckspez whitewashing. I was never suspended - but when I learned Luigi was suddenly an "unperson" topic there, I realized that commercialized social media is inherently compromised.
I'm not swearing off FB/Insta entirely just yet, but every time I visit them I'm more and more vividly aware how tedious Meta channels are.
Welp, said Elon needs to be assassinated for involving himself in European politics as a non European plutocrat
My 11 year old account got banned and I'm not even sure why. I posed a lot over the years. They said I was banned, pointed to a deleted comment. When I asked what the comment said they replied the reviewed the ban and now I'm banned.
I believe it was for a comment about how America would be in trouble if they invaded Canada (I'm Canadian). I stated some basic facts that Canadians look like Americans and they will attack America on American soil. It was matter of fact, not promoting any sort of violence.
Whatever. America is dying. I suppose services hosted on American soil die right along with it. We're actively avoiding as many US products and services as possible, so Reddit can kick rocks.
I discovered Lemmy, it suits my needs and I like it better.
Permabanned for reporting posts on r/truerateme
those ego stroking subs are prone to that. i got temp ban from technology for "reporting posts" too.
Perma-banned for fighting back against the fascist take over of Reddit
Edolf 🤣 using this from now on
I suggested that the most appropriate way to deal with Nazis moving into your neighborhood was the traditional Scandinavian practice of hús-brenna. Apparently the admins dislike effective solutions.
It took me a few days to overwrite all of my comments from the prior 15 years or so, but I did it. Because fuck 'em, they don't get to train their AI on my data.
I got permabanned for criticizing Israel. The final comment that got me permabanned was literally 'No, just the problems they deserve blame for' to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel.
