If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

"Ban Evasion" is such a bullshit concept anyway. Do something we don't like, and try and come back early? You can no longer come here, for life! And since I bet they IP ban, it bans your entire household! I wonder if there are some public places that are Reddit black holes, silently banning any Redditor who goes there because one person once called King Steven a greedy pigboy.
I left Reddit at the time of the great APIcalypse, and there were some businesses whose customer service was so abysmal that the only practical avenue for customer service was on Reddit. Getting a permanent ban for bullshit reasons can have an actual effect if you need support from one of these companies.
It surprises me that they haven't banned the wrong lawyer at the wrong time to prompt a class action lawsuit over how arbitrary it all is.
Thats the big problem i currently have. The game sub i was part of is the place where i always got help solving my problems quickly and it's the only place to have any meanigful conversation about the game.
Now i can't do that anymore and since im perma banned on reddit i can't take part in health and mental health subs i was part of that were the only place to get support or have conversations regarding all my health problems :/
I feel you man, got permabanned as well. Apparently you can not say mean things about Musk, Trump and Israel there, sooner or later it's going to be glorifying violence, and after that they sic a report bot on you or something and you get banned for multiple breaches of the rules, which are entirely ficticious (the breaches, not the rules). Afaik fascists got me banned so they've got one less voice calling out their bullshit.
I am not saying this applies to you but many times someone will say I was banned for saying "mean things" but what they really mean is they called for violence or death of a public figure or another reddit user. Anyone who does that is immediately perm banned. And you can't back track it and say "I really didn't mean it". Add to that calling someone a fascist and you are gone. The list is long but the basics are never call for violence and you can disagree with someone but you can't call them a "name" while doing it.
Everything is considered a call to violence on Reddit now though, I got a week long ban for saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet and the reason was I was inciting violence like Kanye himself was going to read that and then do it
If you can't call litteral fascists what they are there is a serious fascist problem going on.
I admit that at some point in Januari someone stated Musk was going to face serious consequences for what he did and I replied that he wasn't unless there was an assassin willing to shoot through a toddler. I didn't say we need to find such a person, or someone should shoot Musk or anything like that. Just implied that he wasn't going to face any kind of consequences of any legal nature. I'd barely count that as "glorifying violence" You can see much worse statements on Reddit every day.
A literal fascist is hitler or mussolini. Using that term for anyone else is your opinion. "unless there was an assassin willing to shoot through a toddler" - come on you really didn't think they would ban you for that? Big red flag just using the work "assassin". I am not defending reddit . I have been perm banned 3 time. And always reinstated. But the last time perm ban lasted 2 years before they reinstated me. Let's just say I know all the "third rails" at reddit. If you touch them you have to expect to get banned. I occasionally use it but now I really have to consider anything that I might post before I do it. It's not about what you want to post or comment, now it's about what they will allow.
A literral fascist isn't Hitler or Mussolini. There are criteria for determining if a movement or person is fascist. I find Eco 's checklist, which is displayed at holocaust musea, so it has some general acceptance, quite handy.

It may have general acceptance but you can't be a fascist unless you have absolute control over your country. And so far at least, our country still has enough checks and balances to prevent that.
What a weird thing to say.
