Thought it might be interesting… what absurd reason were you banned for? And how were you told?
I commented on a post about musk tasking spez with censorship that we should throw musk and his friends into an emerald mine.
They didn’t tell me. They just made it so that leaving a comment doesn’t work anywhere in any subreddit. “Empty response from endpoint.” Website has a different useless error message.

I commented on something I disagreed with on R/conservative and R/interestingasfuck banned me for interacting in that sub Reddit.
😲🫨😮 That’s ridiculous. Absolutely ludicrous. What the fuck??
Yeah, then I had to make a new Reddit account because I couldn’t post nor comment anywhere. Then the new account got banned for breaking reddits rules of bypassing a ban.
I dared to suggest that Luigi had the right idea, and that we needed more such patriots. Also that he was perhaps not guilty. Reddit mods are absolute MAGASs. And if you suggest that, they will ban you. My ban is permanent, because I may have interrupted their marathon Trump-inspired masterbation sessions. Fuck them.
I said “trans women are women” and got my 10+ year old account permabanned for “inciting violence”.
I think that might win the thread. I literally have that written in the rules for my lemmy community Womens Stuff perhaps I should ban myself.
i got reported for accidentally saying the wrong gender of caitlyn jenner, i was immediately brigaded by people.
I just made this and still don’t know how to make new posts, so enjoy!
My Lemmy suggestions only got shadowbanned so far. Have they moved on to more radical action?
Nah, i made this mostly as a joke
(But technically shadowbanned is still banned, so…)
Fair. Well now you’ve got confirmation, lol.
I was banned from a subreddit for expressing positive feelings about Luigi Mangioni.
…But that was on Reddit, and it’s why I’m here now.
I posted a Mario kart pic and referenced the ceo killer Luigi. I got a 3 day ban, but they then perma banned me 5 hours later saying I bypassed thier ban. I didn’t as I was asleep, but whatever … it all worked out.
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.
i was banned from r/gym on an old account for 28 days, for mentioning the “actor of ISAIP he was qouting was on roids” how is that a ban worthy report? im guessing fitness sub doesnt like the dirty word of being accuesed of PED usage. this was the midle of the purging between nov-dec 24.
I have no idea other than I use a VPN. I mostly scroll, occasionally reply/comment and rarely post. I don’t spam, use bots or APIs. I received no email nor explanation. Just can’t login permanently, and it’s not a credentials issue. Fuck Reddit.
VPN has been banned by most social media, REDDIT started doing it last year, they have been aggressively pursuing similar things like proxy servers too. people used this to heavily bot, and spam on reddit, plus they cant mine your data so all the social media made it useless.
Honestly I can’t post or vote on Lemmy using sync if my VPN is on
I called a very young and immature mod on a rollerskating forum a butthead because when I nicely said I thought inline skating should be an allowed topic in the forum, she rudely replied, in periods, as though she.was.clapping.in.my.face. I told her I hope she enjoys her failed community. I’m pretty sure she made it sound like I threatened her rather than predicted that her rigid rules would cause the sub to decline. I got permanently banned on my 10+ years account for having been reprimanded before during the pandemic.
The other time I got in temped banned, someone posted that Trump had Covid back in the pandemic, and I said I hoped Trump got what he deserved. They said it was a death threat.
I’ve been harassed unprovoked -usually by MAGA, and no one ever got in trouble. I got rid of my Reddit yesterday- banned earlier in the week.
Reddit is being run like a middle school clique. I’m fully done with it. It’s garbage now.
I said I hoped Trump got what he deserved. They said it was a death threat
If you ask me it speaks more to what they think he deserves if they instantly assumed you meant death 🤷♂️
reddit is a mishmash of facebook/X and youtube. the worst parts too.
Oh I can help, as this is why I’m here on Lemmy now after 12 years (happened last week).
- My username. No, seriously I tried to join r/ElonMusk and they banned me.
- Then I switched to my normal (*non-troll killer) account, and got banned.
- They said I was evading my ban from another account?
- I was informed I had a week long ban, immediately deleted my main account and told them to pound Russian sand.
temp banned for “report abuse, basically reporting 1 too many times especially if there is a violation, or if the mods do not like your report you get banned”. and then because reddit is going through a purge all my accounts were hit. when before the usual bans, just means you should avoid that sub, but reddit just decided to find all of your acc and ban them, this happen to others too. this all happened on FEB 13, and i was shocked it also happened to tons of other people too, when i visited another forum. this whole purge thing going on was reddit telling they are clearing the site to be sold soon. Just think about PORNHUB, they just sanitized the site.
it seems with introduction of anti-luigi bans, it has gotten worst, and now any support/implication of “violence” is bannable, cant criticize right wingers or israel now.
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.
