My Reddit account would be 4 years old next week, but for some unknown reason I got permanently banned.
I genuinely don't understand why, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of the enshittification of Reddit Inc. I've never posted anything hateful or doxxed someone. Just mainly discussed Dutch football matches. That's it. I don't think discussing football breaks Reddit rules, right?
I guess I'm disappointed, because a lot of great, niche communities exist on Reddit which don't exist on Lemmy yet, so I now have nowhere to discuss some of my hobbies with random strangers on the internet.
I don't use a VPN for Reddit and while I have another account, it's not for ban evasion, but rather to have my nsfw activity separate from my personal account.
No fucking idea what's happened here, but I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit decided to use AI or some shit to regulate the rules, resulting in random bans.
Got banned for making racist comments. Only the comments weren't racist. Didn't even touch on race. Ask any question about it and the mod just does the 28 day mute.
