Do you mind sharing what you said that put you in reddit-jail?
I said that “Jeff Bezos should see a ‘gill o’ teen’”
Fuck reddit
Ban appeal process is a joke, it’s a private site there’s no standard of evidence required. They don’t overturn bans.
I got mine overturned. All it took was sending appeals every day for a week straight.
I ended up coming here less than a month later anyway, so it wasn’t really worth it.
Was the appeal like a “I didn’t say what you thought I said?” Or was it a "ok I definitely did that but I’m sorry and I super-promise never to do it again if you just give me one more chance? "
It was a ban for saying “I concur” on a post of a woman in a shirt that said “It’s always morally acceptable to punch a Nazi.” The post itself was never removed, but all the comments agreeing with it were removed and users banned. The appeal was basically “yo, what the fuck? are y’all nazi sympathizers?”
You could try. It’s unlikely to work and a questionable use of time but it’s your time to spend as you see fit.

Are there any other methods? Should I just stop using Reddit for posting and stick to Lemmy?
Spend some time here, clean your cookies, after a couple of month, the ban evasion filter shouldn’t trigger anymore.
But stay here, it’s better
Yes you should stop using reddit. There are far too many Nazis and pedophiles and pedophile Nazis. And that’s just the administration.
Stopping using Reddit sounds like a fantastic idea.
I can completely understand wanting to use reddit again (hope you stick with us too, if you do) but you should know it’s super hard to get past any kind of permanent ban.
Did you use multiple reddit accounts or just one? the problem for me is that i got IP banned because they detected me logging in to a banned one on the same browser. It is borderline impossible for me to use reddit for commenting & posting again.
I’ve been IP banned too. I’ve moved houses and changed ISP’s since and have a static ip with new ISP. If I tried signing up again using a new email account, you reckon it’d work?
I haven’t changed service providers on my mobile phone though.
I’m not a reddit fan or hater, there’s just niche communities I like being apart of on reddit that I can’t communicate with anymore.

Same man, same…
Here are some more facts about reddit IP bans:
- They also take your device ID/“fingerprint” on the devices you log into banned account with
- This can be reset by factory resetting a device apparently, but:
- supposedly, because of data protection, they get rid of this ID anyway, as well as your saved IP address, after a fixed period. Maybe 30 days or 3 months? So if you didnt use reddit in all that time you’d be good to go with a new email address
You should also avoid quickly joining all your favourite subreddits, because it flags accounts for that. Basically move like a tortoise when you rejoin, and then after a while you can use reddit normally.
