About a year ago I created my one and only reddit account. Never had one before. I work at a place that is semi virtual. We are required to come into the office 2 days a week. No one has their own dedicated PC. You just pick whatever is available and sign in. Obviously everyone is using the same internet access.
When at the office and I need a break I would visit a few groups of interest on Reddit. Groups that have ZERO to do with politics or anything controversial. I have never made a post or comment about anything political or controversial. I’m in groups like NFL and Dogs.
A week ago I get a message that my account is suspended for 7 days because of a violation of a “linked” account. I have NO linked account. I only use reddit while at work and no where else. I didn’t appeal when I saw the message, I just said whatever. But yesterday I log in and now I am permanently banned.
Anyone have an explanation of what is going on and how to actually get unbanned.
I got permanently banned from reddit over a post I made. They banned my IP or device idk exactly. I tried to sign up on my laptop didn’t work. I was addicted to using it nearly a year. The mods are overly hysterical. They can’t even stand a single comment from me and block me from the sub. I hate that app and it’s douche bag mods.
Several years ago when Lemmy started getting noticed I played around with it. At that point they were totally in the hive mind like reddit. While reddit has gotten worse Lemmy now might ban you for a day or a week or even just remove a post or a comment. There is no free speech anymore at Reddit while Lemmy still allows it. It’s sad that there are not more reddit refugees coming here.
