I’m sure some people have seen some of my prior posts. It seems it has become entirely impossible for me to ever use the platform again, regardless of whatever steps I take. I’ve recently resorted to emailing Reddit’s support team and submitting appeals.

Unfortunately, in the past month, I’ve only ever gotten a response from them once, saying that my ban will be staying in place without giving any reason. Is there any way at all I can get into contact with someone? They have no phone number and no email, and when you submit tickets on their website they very very rarely respond.

Despite the fact it’s a wrongful ban, there seems to be zero accountability on Reddit’s side, and they provide no means for the consumers to reach out to anyone and vouch for themselves. Is there any way I can maybe even get close to getting my ban overturned? Hell at this point I’m not even looking for them to unban me, at the bare minimum I’d just even like to know why I even got banned in the first place.

    just to test it out, ive been submitting an appeal almost daily for like almost 2 months on my shadowbanned acount, nothing. and many people in the shadowban subreddit said the same thing.

    if that wasnt your original account, any new account or any alternatate accounts, they usually ignore appeals on.

    reddit wants to be READY ONLY site, that caters to right wing content for the most part.

    also if you already recieved a rejection message, its unlikely they will appeal any others.

    if you really need to , you have to use a different IP and a new device, and new browser.

      reddit is left wing extremist. I don’t know what you’re on about. The few conservative subreddit that exist there are constantly being purged and reddit right-wingers basically live in fear of being banned at any time.

        This is something I’ve noticed too. Reddit seems to have quickly moved from an incel haven and into a femcel anarchist’s wet dream.

    Reddits a damn joke, I spent a year and a half supporting substance users in rehabilitation and giving them advice on how to kick the needle. Yesterday they decide that i’m promoting violence for some reason. Appeal? Doubt they even read it, they denied it in about an hour or two. The admins on there are scummy fat manchildren who don’t like when someone contributes something meaningful if it doesn’t help them get advertiser money.

    You’re wasting your time brother. I had and oooooold account with hundreds of thousands of karma and it was snapped outta nowhere. No specific reason given aside from I broke “TOS” which tells me nothing. So I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and promised never to break whatever rule that was again. It was instantaneously denied without any clarification.

    I made a new account with a new email and new device on a new internet source and after ~30 minutes my new account was banned for “ban evasion”. Literally have no clue how they knew it was me, but whatever.

    Saw some posts of people saying that they were able to make a new account after waiting a few years and moving, but I can’t verify if that works.

    One slight correction, you aren’t the consumer, you’re the product to be sold to the actual consumers: advertisers and as AI training fodder.

      they want it to be a read only site, and is considerd paywalling some areas in the future.

    I think they have AIs banning people now, and AIs handling the appeals. I’m permabanned, and as far as I can tell, it was just for signing in while using public wi-fi, which made the AI think I was ban evading. There are no actual humans handling this anymore. If you trigger the AI, you’re done.

      That’s what I find so bewildering. Like I am on a college campus, and I sign into a new device while using a user agent switcher and get banned instantly. There is absolutely no way they should be able to connect that account to me, so my only assumption is just that if someone signed onto Reddit while being on campus, they are gone and there’s nothing they can do about it. Such a ridiculously wide net to cast while trying to catch and punish the most minor of offenses

        I don’t see how the site is gonna stay afloat with this going on. Soon there won’t be any actual users. They need eyes on the ads to get revenue, if they ban all those eyes, they get nothing. They’re just gonna have bots talking to each other and no actual content. Can’t even sell user data when you barely have any human users left.
