Lots of people have been banned, across all their accounts, with no recourse, and new accounts suffer the same fate

My fiancée lost over a third of her followers overnight, and asked a mod she knows what was happening.

She was told that anyone who had been banned, for any reason whatsoever was being indiscriminately purged, with device fingerprinting and other mechanisms used to keep them from finding a way back in

Apparently it has been happening in stages, so that’s why there are waves of mass-bans

Reddit seems determined to cut themselves off at the knees, so here’s hoping that Digg and Lemmy can shine and learn from the mistakes of Reddit

    Heh. I’ve been blocked from a programming subreddit for being ‘too directly helpful’. Apparently the dozen to-and-fro conversations weren’t enough to show that OP needed more concrete direction.

    Hilarious if that sees me banned from the platform at some point.
