During the first trump regime I got banned from /r/politics for inciting violence by repeating a quote from trump and replacing the original target’s name with trump.

Had used it for 7 or 8 years. Karma total 3.5 million, so some people must of liked my posts and comments. Was also a mod of several groups. But I made the mistake of too much truth telling. Never broke their rules. Never threaten violence. Never threatened another user. Out of the blue permanent ban. I would say it was because of the many “reports” my posts and comments might have received by a small group of tools that loved to brigade users that disagreed with them. And forget about getting reinstated. No one even reads the appeals.

I was banned once. I had no idea why. I appealed. Denied. I asked if I could at least know which post got me banned. Nope. That didn’t make me leave. It should have. :( Luckily killing RiF did.

I have a question about reddit bans. I’m not tech savy. And I am not advocating anything illegal. But is it possible to actually get into their system and reverse a permanent ban?

Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don’t care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can’t correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don’t concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

Why would you even attempt that if you can much more easily circumvent their ban by using a vpn. Assuming that you can still use a vpn, I’m not on reddit anymore.

I think they use browser fingerprinting to prevent that. They could also block Vpn traffic

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.
