Here’s what makes this whole thing absurd
The ban in question was a 3-day ban from r/youll_be_banned which is a subreddit where getting banned is literally part of its punchline. You make a post, you get banned if the mods are in a bad mood, and that’s just the joke
Why on earth would I try to circumvent such a short ban, from that subreddit of all subreddits?
Still, it doesn’t change that I’ve been accused by the automated system, even for something that I did not do
Right after I got that message about the sitewide ban, I panicked and sent a half-baked appeal explaining that I had zero intent. Of course that appeal got rejected because I didn’t explain the context above. You could tell from the wording itself that I was still experiencing the shock of it all
And, well there is a page allowing me to send my second appeal. I’m just scared of it getting rejected again somehow
I think in the meantime, I’m just gonna stop shouting into the void and reach out here to you guys, just to talk it over. It’s been 11 days since the ban, and I’ve been a little depressed about it
Does anyone want to share their experiences?
I tried anti finger printing, which is like the same as using the device, and that works fine. I think what was the setting me back was not using a clean IP, and not using a mainstream email provider.
I found out that if you use the cell phone IP with anti-fingerprinting like the brave browser, and he’s a fresh email account through Gmail or Hotmail, youre pretty much in the clear from the get-go.
i waited a whole year and was gauging reddits bans, they leveled off like last year, because they realize they were banning too much people, which would generated content for ai scraping. i dont use mobile for reddit anymore, except for lurking. i use librewolf as the desktop browser, since its a new browser i never used with reddit.
its harder if you are spammer for your “business/income” they catch on faster that way. even these people started to produce "organic human behaviour, which serves reddits purpose, to not illicit the filtering. i stay away from all the large subs though, as long you are not a serial evader, you have to wait quite awhile before making a new account.
