So a while ago I received a ban on r/asmongold subbredit, The ban was unjustified and the reason for it was that I wrote a comment saying that it's unfair for a streamer to ban people from their chat for simply disagreeing with their opinions. That post got upvoted into oblivion then Asmongold himself reacted to it on stream (there's a video on his channel with him literally reading my comment, I can provide proof of what I'm saying). The next day I was banned from the subbreddit, at first I was confused but then, when I tried to login to my 2017 reddit account I was banned again for ''Ban Evasion'', then followed with Literally a Ban spree on every single reddit account I had, some of them are old reddit accounts that has nothing to do with r/asmongold, I used them in the past to get tips and guides for games I used to play and forgot they even exist until I received an email saying that I was banned on those accounts.... And this is all bcs one streamer who can't take criticism and his twitch/reddit mods that are clearly corrupt, And now I'm banned from the entire reddit bcs I disagreed with Asmongold, That's without even mentioning that he went too far and got himself Suspended from twitch, content creators like this are everything wrong with today's internet. So I decided to never Reddit ever again, it's literally the embodiment of everything wrong with the internet. Goodbye Reddit. Getting rid of Google itself is my next big end of the year goal. Edit : Looks like I'm suddenly getting downvoted, Welcome to Lemmy guys. Edit 2 : I will be moving on from this thread guys, all I wanted is to expose the hypocrisy that is happening on reddit, and btw I have succeeded in evading my ban, I closed my reddit account when I wrote this post. thanks everyone for replying.
Maybes I missed the rule that says "Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned".
I Got permanently banned from a subreddit I liked ,and was a long time member of because I accidentally reposted something that was already posted on there before. I tried to ask the mods about the perma ban but got no response
Here's 2 post with same title, image and comment. * On r/StardewMemes posted on 12th October. https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewMemes/comments/1g24guh/am_i_am_i_sebastian/ * On r/StardewValley posted on 15 April 2021. https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/mridh7/am_i_am_i_sebastian Check [!stardewvalley@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/stardewvalley?dataType=Post) for active Lemmy community.
I'm still a mod in my city local subreddit. One of the other mods is also involved in a Whatsapp group which, over time, has evolved to a quite active community, with subgroups dedicated to several topics to help people settling in the city (housing, finance, parenting, etc.) The Whatsapp group has recently requested to add a link to their website in the subreddit sidebar. The mod who is also involved in thee WhatsApp group brought the topic in the mod chat. One of the oldest mods (who isn't even modding that much these days, it's mostly another one single person, poor them btw) replied with the statement in the title. Seems so weird to me to want to gatekeep the FAQ of a subreddit that much. The objective is to help newcomers to the city integrate, why make it difficult to have all pointers in the same place? In addition, this is probably the kind of reactions you'll get when trying to talk about a Lemmy community on a subreddit.

Okay maybe I'm just being salty over it because I got permabanned a week ago but the mod-mob has been an issue for a long time now. And ever since I got banned, I've tried to create two accounts, and both of them have been immediately shadowbanned by reddit. I'll be more specific. The subreddit in question is r/Islam. There was absolutely nothing malicious about the comment I made on the post that got me banned. I know this because the comment was, “Do you have some kind of proof to back your claim?” I used to have two accounts on my reddit app and this comment was made through an alt account. A few minutes later I switched back to my main account and kind of forgot about it. I also used to engage with r/Islam through my main account so after a comment I made on a different post, I got the message that my account was permanently banned from reddit. I switched to my alt and there it was. The first message of how because of my comment, my account was banned from that sub and because I used my alt account, reddit flagged it as ban evasion and evoked a site ban. I appealed of course and tried my best to explain how there was a mistake while still being apologetic. My appeal was denied of course and the permabanned remained in order. The next day, my wife tells me her account was banned as well. She said she tried to make a new account but was shadowbanned immediately. I tried to create a new account through first my office wifi but same device and then on a different device on my home wifi. Got shadowbanned immediately both times. When I made an appeal, I believe their words were, and I'm paraphrasing here, “When we ban you permanently, we don't ban your account, we ban the person.” This got me thinking. How would reddit even know I was the one making those accounts later? Surely they collect much more information than they let on? Device fingerprint for example, IP and/or mac address. Either way, I guess that's the end of my journey on reddit. And it got me into thinking how many subs I've been banned from for no apparent reason at all. Mods will just ban you for amusement sometimes, while other times they'd just do it as a power move. It's becoming the next Facebook with each passing day.
I have made a post where I ask the AI what that was about and it gave me the impression that you could do one appeal every 6 months. But really I've only been banned for 4. I see people talk about being banned before even one post from a year ago and the person's other account and you look at their account and it's still up. So what could be happening there? I mean I know admitting to it can get you caught. And there does seem to be some saying they got their account back.
So I've been ban from Reddit for 4 months now and got my first appeal denied. It does say you can appeal within 6 months I don't know if that means if you don't get your account back your basically done or does it mean what ChatGPT thinks it means. That after 6 months I can try another appeal. I really want to get back on Reddit. I mean really it's way more strict than Facebook I think. But I really do miss Reddit like a lot and this would be a relief if I have a second chance.

Well yeah I'm trying to find ways to get into platform, but is there anyway to get there without getting banned?
Is it me or Reddit is starting to malfunction and getting worse? More errors, bots, and the gradual decline of the platform itself. Parts of it don’t work on some days, and it’s starting to feel like it’s falling apart.
I still browse the subreddit for whichever game I'm into on my phone browser and old.reddit is a must, I can't stand the different style sheets. I remember it was gonna get ended but hadn't heard about it in a while. Anyone know if that's gone now?
I saw a post about someone making a "controversial" opinion (their words) about liking a game everybody fell in love with. It was a well-known, widely loved, and highly praised videogame that is very good (fires of rubicon). Then, a few hours later, after we called them out on it, they deleted the post.
