Banned for just showing a screenshot of a Facebook account hijacking. Later turned out to be a powertripping mod looking for an axe to grind.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Just get over Reddit. Forget it, and start anew on greener pastures.
No one is reading your messages, it's over
Reddits a damn joke, I spent a year and a half supporting substance users in rehabilitation and giving them advice on how to kick the needle. Yesterday they decide that i’m promoting violence for some reason. Appeal? Doubt they even read it, they denied it in about an hour or two. The admins on there are scummy fat manchildren who don’t like when someone contributes something meaningful if it doesn’t help them get advertiser money.
thier filters, sub filters are set on high and is pretty indiscriminate in how they flag people to. Also thier using AI to just run through peoples account with no care if they are spamming ro not.
its also noticable that they have set some of sub to "Best" which shows very old posts further discouraging people from engaging in a sub, although most subs might just set to Hot as the filter.
im not even tempting to create an acct, since ive been shadowbanned, because a shadow is alot worst than a perma ban.
Like so many others, I got a bullshit permanent ban a couple months ago. I messaged them every day for weeks with no response. You will not get the ban undone. Sorry. Fuck Reddit. I had a lot of good times there, but it is trash since going public and Spez is sucking Edolf’s taint. Hopefully, Lemmy will continue to grow.
i have been appealing a shadowbanned account for 1.5months, no dice. and on the shadowban sub, people have reported the same issue, no reason why.
just to test it out, ive been submitting an appeal almost daily for like almost 2 months on my shadowbanned acount, nothing. and many people in the shadowban subreddit said the same thing.
if that wasnt your original account, any new account or any alternatate accounts, they usually ignore appeals on.
reddit wants to be READY ONLY site, that caters to right wing content for the most part.
also if you already recieved a rejection message, its unlikely they will appeal any others.
if you really need to , you have to use a different IP and a new device, and new browser.
reddit is left wing extremist. I don't know what you're on about. The few conservative subreddit that exist there are constantly being purged and reddit right-wingers basically live in fear of being banned at any time.
This is something I've noticed too. Reddit seems to have quickly moved from an incel haven and into a femcel anarchist's wet dream.
Leave a message for the admin here. Never go back to that shitty website. Eventually when that website collapses, the admin might see your message. If not, your life is still better.
I've been there
You're wasting your time
Shit, I couldn't even get intimate images of me taken down that were being shared without my consent!
They don't care
interesting choice of username
Nope, and don't waste any breath trying.
Despite the fact it’s a wrongful ban, there seems to be zero accountability on Reddit’s side, and they provide no means for the consumers to reach out to anyone and vouch for themselves. Is
One slight correction, you aren't the consumer, you're the product to be sold to the actual consumers: advertisers and as AI training fodder.
Chances are it won't help. Unless a mod accidentally hit the ban button. It's easier for them to ban anyone close to breaking the rules than have to split hairs with things that might be breaking the rules.
There needs to be a journalist who digs into this to see how big a problem it is and what's going on over there. It seems like a mass purge. Or they're letting AI moderation indiscriminately destroy people's social media accounts.
Yeah we’ve had so many posts like this past couple days
just like look at the shadowban sub, its actually more pervasive than you think.
That's such a good point. It quite honestly really feels like the entirety of Reddit is run by a single AI that does not give a fuck about any of its users. It honestly feels like the most corrupt and anti-consumer social media one can use right now
Save your effort. They don't give a shit about their userbase. Reddit is done.
they want it to be a read only site, and is considerd paywalling some areas in the future.
There should be an email linked in the ban message to appeal. If not there, it's also somewhere in their help/support page.
It may take a few tries, but is it really worth it?
not for shadowbans, they are pretty sneaky on that end, "thier claims they dont want botters to know that they are banned"
I've been able to submit emails to them through a report form but they have never responded to them
Of course not ideal, but honestly they did you a favor, contribute elsewhere. My 2c.
You aren't a paying customer, so they don't care about you. They care about their advertisers and their investors...that's all.
I think they have AIs banning people now, and AIs handling the appeals. I’m permabanned, and as far as I can tell, it was just for signing in while using public wi-fi, which made the AI think I was ban evading. There are no actual humans handling this anymore. If you trigger the AI, you’re done.
reddit looks at sudden changes in IP, or suspicious new browsers, or devices. thats where all the new bans are comming from.
because proxies can suddenly change IP.
That's what I find so bewildering. Like I am on a college campus, and I sign into a new device while using a user agent switcher and get banned instantly. There is absolutely no way they should be able to connect that account to me, so my only assumption is just that if someone signed onto Reddit while being on campus, they are gone and there's nothing they can do about it. Such a ridiculously wide net to cast while trying to catch and punish the most minor of offenses
I don’t see how the site is gonna stay afloat with this going on. Soon there won’t be any actual users. They need eyes on the ads to get revenue, if they ban all those eyes, they get nothing. They’re just gonna have bots talking to each other and no actual content. Can’t even sell user data when you barely have any human users left.
its mostly bots anyways, especial AI bots that post alot of slop posts. half is bots, and half is maybe users. and its not the good bots either, the propaganda bots.
Theres like 12 mods that control like 90% of the subs no fucking chance. Fuck em leave reddit
92 controls 500+subs, you can guess which subs. Politics, news, and any of the adjacent subs. funny, pics,,,,etc.
