I’m sure some people have seen some of my prior posts. It seems it has become entirely impossible for me to ever use the platform again, regardless of whatever steps I take. I’ve recently resorted to emailing Reddit’s support team and submitting appeals.
Unfortunately, in the past month, I’ve only ever gotten a response from them once, saying that my ban will be staying in place without giving any reason. Is there any way at all I can get into contact with someone? They have no phone number and no email, and when you submit tickets on their website they very very rarely respond.
Despite the fact it’s a wrongful ban, there seems to be zero accountability on Reddit’s side, and they provide no means for the consumers to reach out to anyone and vouch for themselves. Is there any way I can maybe even get close to getting my ban overturned? Hell at this point I’m not even looking for them to unban me, at the bare minimum I’d just even like to know why I even got banned in the first place.
I’ve been there
You’re wasting your time
Shit, I couldn’t even get intimate images of me taken down that were being shared without my consent!
They don’t care
interesting choice of username
Nope, and don’t waste any breath trying.
Chances are it won’t help. Unless a mod accidentally hit the ban button. It’s easier for them to ban anyone close to breaking the rules than have to split hairs with things that might be breaking the rules.

One slight correction, you aren’t the consumer, you’re the product to be sold to the actual consumers: advertisers and as AI training fodder.
Just walk away.
There needs to be a journalist who digs into this to see how big a problem it is and what’s going on over there. It seems like a mass purge. Or they’re letting AI moderation indiscriminately destroy people’s social media accounts.
That’s such a good point. It quite honestly really feels like the entirety of Reddit is run by a single AI that does not give a fuck about any of its users. It honestly feels like the most corrupt and anti-consumer social media one can use right now
Yeah we’ve had so many posts like this past couple days
Save your effort. They don’t give a shit about their userbase. Reddit is done.
There should be an email linked in the ban message to appeal. If not there, it’s also somewhere in their help/support page.
It may take a few tries, but is it really worth it?
I’ve been able to submit emails to them through a report form but they have never responded to them
Of course not ideal, but honestly they did you a favor, contribute elsewhere. My 2c.
I think they have AIs banning people now, and AIs handling the appeals. I’m permabanned, and as far as I can tell, it was just for signing in while using public wi-fi, which made the AI think I was ban evading. There are no actual humans handling this anymore. If you trigger the AI, you’re done.
That’s what I find so bewildering. Like I am on a college campus, and I sign into a new device while using a user agent switcher and get banned instantly. There is absolutely no way they should be able to connect that account to me, so my only assumption is just that if someone signed onto Reddit while being on campus, they are gone and there’s nothing they can do about it. Such a ridiculously wide net to cast while trying to catch and punish the most minor of offenses
Theres like 12 mods that control like 90% of the subs no fucking chance. Fuck em leave reddit
Like so many others, I got a bullshit permanent ban a couple months ago. I messaged them every day for weeks with no response. You will not get the ban undone. Sorry. Fuck Reddit. I had a lot of good times there, but it is trash since going public and Spez is sucking Edolf’s taint. Hopefully, Lemmy will continue to grow.
You’re wasting your time brother. I had and oooooold account with hundreds of thousands of karma and it was snapped outta nowhere. No specific reason given aside from I broke “TOS” which tells me nothing. So I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and promised never to break whatever rule that was again. It was instantaneously denied without any clarification.
I made a new account with a new email and new device on a new internet source and after ~30 minutes my new account was banned for “ban evasion”. Literally have no clue how they knew it was me, but whatever.
Saw some posts of people saying that they were able to make a new account after waiting a few years and moving, but I can’t verify if that works.
Leave a message for the admin here. Never go back to that shitty website. Eventually when that website collapses, the admin might see your message. If not, your life is still better.
