  • It was my bad, but an honest mistake. I had two accounts. there were two subreddits: r/meme and r/memes. One doesn't want you to put the same meme on both (technically says something like: if you post somewhere else don't post the same thing here), at least a few months ago that is what the rules were. I am new to making memes so I made one on Canva to see if it would be generally accepted by the community and whether my ideas/jokes were even funny. I posted on one of them idk I cannot remember which. And forgot about that rule, which is debatably absurd to begin with but that isn't the absurd reason. (They did give me a 28 day ban for this, which is the absolute only thing I have ever done wrong on Reddit after a several years old account. While karma doesn't mean anything it still took effort to get it, lol, not that it matters)

    They banned me from one, and I was continuing to post on the other subreddit. Mind you I am now on my other account, because I am a little ticked off (not because I was temp banned from the subreddit,but that a rule I didn't think of, and a little ridiculous is there, no warning, nothing)

    Long story short, a few weeks later on that alternative account, I forgot about the whole thing, and didn't realize I commented on the wrong subreddit--the one I was banned on the other account on. This is how I accidentally circumvented a ban and got perma banned on only my alt account, temp banned on the other for a week. After that I deleted all my accounts (I had 5, the reason was not to break rules or anything bad rather one was for art, one for music, one for general social stuff etc)

    Better on Lemmy anyway.

  • Oh I can help, as this is why I'm here on Lemmy now after 12 years (happened last week).

    1. My username. No, seriously I tried to join r/ElonMusk and they banned me.
    2. Then I switched to my normal (*non-troll killer) account, and got banned.
    3. They said I was evading my ban from another account?
    4. I was informed I had a week long ban, immediately deleted my main account and told them to pound Russian sand.

  • it was 2 years ago but I got perma banned for saying some trump's cult members are mouth breathing rednecks. Or at least I think that was the case all I was told was my account was banned for violating the "rules". I appealed by asking what rules I violated - the canned response was "we reviewed your appeal and are holding up our ban of your account."

    Haven't been back to the site since and don't miss it.

  • No idea, it was random. I even looked through my comments to see any deleted content from reddit. I guess I was site wide banned for saying a killer is less dangerous if he only kills child predators. It was to an article about a man killing his cell mate for sexually abusing a kid. People in the comments praised him for it but other users had to remind them he is in prison for killing other people. I said he would be less dangerous if he had only killed child predators. That got me lot of upvotes. I couldn't find this comment of mine so I assumed reddit removed it.

    I also said another time how a kid had to die for the mom to finally get help from the state. The kid froze to death when the mom was homeless with her kids living in the car. Then the state of Michigan grants her a house when that should have happened before one of her kids froze to death. Obviously redditers knew what I meant because they upvoted it. I wasn't citing violence for kids to die for parents to get assistance from the state. Yet reddit never alerted me so I could appeal it. There is nothing in my messages about what content of mine violated their sitewide rules which makes me think it was done by AI than by a human.

    I guess this was citing violence against a group of people. :/
