    From what I understand there isn’t an easy way to do that. Just make a new account is the easy solution. (Even easier, just don’t bother having an account)

      Using a new account doesn’t always work as they have multiple ways of identifying you like your device ID, IP address, subs you subscribe to, etc

    Yes, I was shadow banned. Zero communication from the standard ways of reporting it. Good riddance. The place is a cesspool.

    I was on reddit since 2014. Got perma banned a few months ago. Essentially I argued with the nazi mods and they booted me. Whitepeople Twitter is a cesspool of an echo chamber. I took the perma ban happily and permanently switched to lemmy, much happier here. Fuck reddit and the nazi mods just leave and don’t look back

      Can you ask questions normally even using a VPN? Could you tell me which VPN you use?

    Yes, twice. Both for inane shite. Once for quoting a line from a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross) which contained a slur, and on my new account for making a joke about a guy who happened to be Indian and was in no way racist. My pleas fell on deaf ears. I can’t say this strongly enough - fuck Reddit, it’s a shit hole, full of bots and power-hungry mods. Stay away. Here is better.

    Only way I’ve found is to make a new email account and use a VPN every time. I miss r/politics and a few other subs sometimes but I don’t find it worth the effort. Lemmy has less traffic than Reddit but it also has less bots and dickhead mods. There’s been a huge influx of Russian trolls and MAGA tools on Reddit who like to get people banned.

    I got banned for saying I’d be fine with it if Joe Biden executed Nazis. IDK about getting unbanned, I realized I don’t want to help far-right psychopaths collect AI training corpus material and ad revenue.

    Not if you use any af the same email accounts or accounts linked to accounts. I don’t suggest evading an overzealous temp bad by creating the user all_aita_mods_are_incels they took it hard.

    I was banned after RvW for saying that riot police should quit their jobs en masse. There’s no easy way to get unbanned, but consider it for the better because it’s the easiest way to disconnect from that cess pit.
