Do you use reddit mostly through the app or web? (feddit.de)

Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can't live without adblock.

Neither. I was banned from /r/Android because I prefer a Google Pixel over a Samsung device (yay, corrupt mods!)

I forgot, and I commented using one of my many alts. I was temporarily suspended from Reddit as a whole for "ban evasion".

My friends visited, who have Reddit accounts, and when they connected to my WiFi Reddit immediately perma-banned ALL of us, including all of my brand accounts for my company.

Reddit allowing random strangers to essentially get you perma-banned because you prefer a different phone is ridiculous. 🥲

I also got a ban after being on the site for over a decade. In a popular city's subreddit there was a news article about an FBI agent that had to shoot a pitbull in a park. The pit was not on a leash and started attacking the agent's dog. The pit also attacked another dog in this park a week prior. The agent shoots the dog and everyone in the comments is going crazy about a wild, dangerous dog being shot.

I said they should've nuked the dog and got perma'd. Poof. Ten year account on a throwaway comment, no warning. The mod reported it to reddit admins and then it was removed for "inciting violence". So now I'm just sitting here with my nukes trying to find a new place to chat.

Also, API calls. lol

That reminds me, before I got perma IP-banned, I got account banned for a comment I made.

It was on a post of someone who died from colon cancer. I commented how important it is to get your ass checked, and that account was perma-banned for "bullying".

It's quite interesting to see all of the hate speech and terrible comments on Reddit that don't seem to get picked up by Reddit, yet here I am, IP perma-banned for the most ridiculous things lol
