I’ve had 5 Reddit accounts banned over the past couple of months.
I wasn’t spamming. I wasn’t self-promoting. I didn’t post links. I just… talked to people.
My posts were things like:
– Photos of my cat
– A conversation about burnout in r/CasualConversation
– Responding to comments politely
Each time, the account got suspended out of nowhere. No warning, no explanation.
I filed appeals — no answer.
I tagged @RedditSupport on Twitter — silence.
I’m an indie game developer. I wasn’t even promoting my game. I was trying to be a part of the community. Reddit punished me for using the site as intended.
I know I’m not the only one who’s been through this.
If Reddit is hostile to new users, what future does it have?
They never told me what the first ban was for. Just silence. So yeah — I kept trying, like any human would.
