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.
just to test it out, ive been submitting an appeal almost daily for like almost 2 months on my shadowbanned acount, nothing. and many people in the shadowban subreddit said the same thing.
if that wasnt your original account, any new account or any alternatate accounts, they usually ignore appeals on.
reddit wants to be READY ONLY site, that caters to right wing content for the most part.
also if you already recieved a rejection message, its unlikely they will appeal any others.
if you really need to , you have to use a different IP and a new device, and new browser.
reddit is left wing extremist. I don’t know what you’re on about. The few conservative subreddit that exist there are constantly being purged and reddit right-wingers basically live in fear of being banned at any time.
No one is reading your messages, it’s over
Just get over Reddit. Forget it, and start anew on greener pastures.
Reddits a damn joke, I spent a year and a half supporting substance users in rehabilitation and giving them advice on how to kick the needle. Yesterday they decide that i’m promoting violence for some reason. Appeal? Doubt they even read it, they denied it in about an hour or two. The admins on there are scummy fat manchildren who don’t like when someone contributes something meaningful if it doesn’t help them get advertiser money.
thier filters, sub filters are set on high and is pretty indiscriminate in how they flag people to. Also thier using AI to just run through peoples account with no care if they are spamming ro not.
its also noticable that they have set some of sub to “Best” which shows very old posts further discouraging people from engaging in a sub, although most subs might just set to Hot as the filter.
im not even tempting to create an acct, since ive been shadowbanned, because a shadow is alot worst than a perma ban.
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.
only works if you are on a different IP address, and a new device. if you are on the same device and ip even with new accounts, reddit will just ban that. its not worth it to create account as a new user too, people are getting banned soon after.
also some subs have filters that will automatically delete your comment which can trigger reddit filters at the same time.
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.
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.
i have been appealing a shadowbanned account for 1.5months, no dice. and on the shadowban sub, people have reported the same issue, no reason why.
Just walk away.

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.
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.
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
just like look at the shadowban sub, its actually more pervasive than you think.
Save your effort. They don’t give a shit about their userbase. Reddit is done.
they want it to be a read only site, and is considerd paywalling some areas in the future.
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?
not for shadowbans, they are pretty sneaky on that end, “thier claims they dont want botters to know that they are banned”
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.
