No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.

I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!

No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?

i made multiple accounts over the years to spread out the niche and liability of the bans, but with thier AI moderation they jus ttook out all my 1-11yo acccounts, multiples. one of the last account survived temperorily, apparently due to a bug/glitch when it asks you to change your password(they use this to fish people out so they can ban them)

This was a good tactic if you made one make 4 or 5 just in case. I kept only one and when they play the game ''suspicious activty'' change your password and then they dont send the password email then...you know whats up.

apparently it was reported that "change password" was lifting the perma bans, they patched shortly after that. i was making accs solely for niche topics, not involved with the larger ones, that tend to be political, to avoid that situation. i think it only work, because i was using a universities computer to do it.
