I have mentioned in this group before that I had a 10 year old account with high karma totals that was permanently banned site wide 2 years ago. I had posted an article that conflicted with the reddit world view from a “source” that reddit allowed for linked posts. Anyway not to go into all that again here’s what happened.
I had read the discussions in this group regarding the changes at X and Meta. The shift is that all opinions are allowed except calling for violence or things obviously not true like the Sun rises in the West.
So I made another “appeal” to reddit with the perfunctory pledge not to violate their rules, which I won’t.
Next day I was reinstated. Are they shifting like X and Meta? Don’t know but if not it was a strange coincidence.
Though I prefer Lemmy I still enjoy the NON political reddit groups like for books, golf, etc. About a month ago I messaged the Lemmy Admins to appoint me a mod to the Lemmy “golf” group since it had been dormant for over a year. I was appointed a mod there. I started posting golf related things but with almost zero interaction from anyone on Lemmy. I realize that Lemmy has few active users. I read something a few weeks ago that actually estimated that there were only 1K of us.
I wish we could turn that around here and revive some of these groups.
I actually had to google reddit appeal to finally find the correct link. I was not able to get the link via my banned account. Do a search for reddit permeant ban and you should eventually find the link. Then just type in your reddit user name into the form
Will do thanks, but probably will wait several months before trying as my account was banned recently and the first appeal failed.

It’s this the link you used?
Yes that is definitely the link. And yes I would wait several months and then start out by saying, “My account was banned X many months ago…”
Thanks for confirming!
