Just out of curiosity. Landed myself in a permanent ban that seems to be tied to my device so no more reddit ever I guess (now that they’ve walled off browsing behind accounts) but the circumstances of the ban were what seems to be a bug involving the ban evasion filter that I cant even submit a ticket about because all bug reports are in a subreddit :')
Is this just me? I had a ban from a subreddit, it appeared to have run down, went to post in the community and got two comments out before being flagged for “ban evasion” because turns out there were 2 days left and Im bad at counting I guess womp womp. But this led to being flagged for evading a ban on the account that had the ban which is weird.
Ive never had it happen before where a comment even registered in a banned community, there was no pinned message, genuinely seemed all clear. Is this a fluke? How did that even happen?
All I can say is nobody exactly knows what reddit is doing to flag ban evasion. Just don’t expect to ever make an account again.
I tried on and off again across numerous. Devices and with different ips for a couple of years and just gave up.
So I said fuck reddit. Found lemmy. I refuse to click any reddit links.
We’ve been hearing similar stories for years.
It’s time to get over your ex that ghosted you and move on.
Its a shame, lemmy is great but missing a lot of the smaller niche subreddits. I was really active in the crested gecko one and beyond going back to old school forums im not sure what else will scratch that itch
Yeah, that’s probably the biggest flaw here. There are relatively quite a few people in the general communities, but not enough to get the more specific interest communities thriving.
