No warning, not even a “Don’t do it again email” - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That’s it, gone, banned.
I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that’s banned too. FFS!
No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?
I got around it, make a new windows/OS login, VPN and you can get around the ban. Exact same thing happened to me 4 accounts, accidentally posted on one of my other accounts that was banned in the sub and they hit me with ban evasion.
Is not an IP ban as far as I can tell, they are using something to get a digital finger print of you current login/browser/etc. I suspect Pixel but can’t confirm. But I flip the VPN to another city prior to logging in on the new account and switch it back when I log off reddit to my main OS account just in case.
Its been about 2 weeks and the new account is running fine, although I don’t bother to use it and stick to Lemmy now…
