    Ditto. Had multiple accounts for anonymity and different algorithms lol. I was talking about a “murder suicide” true case and that got flagged as “threatening violence” and I got permanently banned 😅 jumped on a different account and…perma banned. And yep, instantly took out all 5 accounts 🤷‍♀️ hence why I’m here lol.

      And I get the whole it’s their business and they can do what they want but when it’s a monopoly basically, they should not be allowed to IP ban people.

        Yeah I’ve been surprised to see how many people have spoken about being banned recently for such minor stuff so I suspect that it might be pushing people on here. I wonder if they lose enough users they’ll figure out their monopoly is under threat lol. But I think we’re a very long way off that!

        Tbh, I’m disabled and as sad it is, I’m quite isolated and a lot of my connection to others was through reddit discussions so I was actually pretty upset at the ban. So yeah the extreme IP ban is shit!

          If you really wanted to get back on, it’s possible, you could buy a used phone and get a sim that you add gb data on and use that . But honestly I don’t want to give Reddit my eyes for any advertising they push on people. I do miss it though
