I’m dealing with this too. I got banned from one sub by a whiny mod while trying to correct misinformation about the industry I work in, figured I’d just make a new account and move on. Didn’t realize how sophisticated their detection was and ended up getting permabanned. Even with a VPN and a new email using Brave I get new account banned in less than a day, I have no idea how they do it.

Really sucks since I participated in a lot of small hobby and support subs that I can’t replace anywhere else.

Sorry but reddit has died. I wonder if people realise much of the banning and moderation is done with algorithms. If the algorithms find you do not fit in, you will be repeatedly permabanned forever.

Its only Reddit, it doesn't really matter. Real life doesn't care about Reddit.

Reddit is arbitrary.

Welcome here. People might be arbitrary too, but their power is limited.

I once got permabanned from a politics subreddit (I think it was /r/canadapolitics) that had a "downvoting is not permitted" rule, because there was a guy getting downvotes and I offered him an explanation for why I thought he was getting them. That counted as evidence that I had downvoted him, I guess.

My response: I sent one message to the mods that was essentially "really?" And then when there was no response I unsubbed from that subreddit and moved on. I see no point in participating in subreddits with ridiculous rules and ridiculous enforcement.

Granted, unsubbing from politics subreddits is generally a good idea even when not banned. But eh.

The only other subreddit I'm banned in is /r/artisthate, which I never visited in the first place. Apparently they scan other subreddits for signs of users who don't hate artificial intelligence enough and preemptively ban them. That was kind of hilarious.

Anyway, I guess my advice is don't get too deeply "invested" in a community that can be so easily and arbitrarily taken away from you in the first place. And also manage your passwords better.

I got banned from r/politics for saying we were just waiting for old people to croak. "Permabanned". Lasted like 3.5 years? Idk why/when I was unbanned.

Don't sweat it. You're literally better off.

I had legitimate bans and completely ridiculous power tripping bans. I was always able to create a new account though. The trick is to mix and match different VPN's/IP's with different browsers/containers.

unplug your ISP modem for 10 minutes, connect it back, check if your external IP changed. your IP is probably banned, need to renew and your problems will be gone. if it doesn't change IP, call ISP and tell them you want to refresh.

I was permabanned from a lefty sub for saying that Russia interfered in other country's elections. I replied to the ban with a source. After a stupid reply from a mod and a stupid comeback on my part, I was permabanned. Why? Propagating US government propaganda.

Got a message saying I was banned from a sub I wasn't even subscribed to and hadn't posted to. I replied to the message telling them to get stuffed. They reported me and got me banned from Reddit for 3 days.

So instead, I banned Reddit and haven't looked back. F-'em.

They did the same thing to me. Perma banned over some petty shit. It's made my life a lot better tbh I'm just upset I've lost so many secret Santa trophies

You're better off.

Stop joining whatever sub banned you. It's some system check. Make new acct, don't follow any subs that banned you. Probably don't post in them, then again it seems to be case by case

that never happened to me i never got a ban but unrelated: On a subreddit i had a argument with somebody and nothing happened to the post the guy who argued with me blocked me

Yeah my university uses reddit as a primary communication tool and now I'm denied of using it too. I was banned for 'inciting violence' over an honestly harmless comment. 12 year old account with no previous strikes
