being banned is funny and stuff, but reddit can, has and will unban accounts to inflate their user count for their investors.
delete every account, post and comment if you can.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
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 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
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.

Ooooh so that's why I no longer get banned for ban evasion
Forgot about this. Can't they restore accounts too?
i dont know, i dont think so (without a user asking them to?). i think it would be less trouble for them to just create new accounts on their own. same result, but nobody can claim that their deleted account was restored. i think restoring deleted accounts could lead to legal trouble?
Don't care either way. I came because it really seemed like reddit was becoming a terrible place. The arbitrary banning and increasing warnings on restricting content made it time to go. I'm just grateful that lemmy is an alternative that (so far) seems to capture the spirit of original reddit, without all the increasing b.s.
I just hope that I become as comfortable with lemmy as I did with the reddit app. I hated switching from Comet to the reddit app. But, I got used to the reddit app, so I'm sure I will with lemmy. It's nice to have 75% of reddit, but a nice 3rd party app to use again. I'm new and learning!
No one knows I'm there in the first place. 😅
I did start to think I must be shadow banned, or I'm just really dull and nobody cared enough to reply to what I wrote
Being perm banned without warning and no reason given. Just happened random. So I started to look for an alternative.
I got banned for apparently trying to circumnavigate a ban, despite not being banned, so I found something better
Sir, how dare you circumvent your ban. I silenced you, or someone like you, or just I don't really know because I'm relying on incomplete data to determine who was banned and who you are. You're ban stands and if you or anyone like you trys to circumvent it, I'll have their heads!
I’m staying to be a fediverse evangelist. Someone’s got to upvote all of Blaze’s posts.
Got banned for saying “trans women are women” lol
By reddit? There are many LGBTQ+ subreddits, so I find it weird. Or is it a new thing with USA burning?
I don’t know, they said I was “promoting violence”.
I got banned for daring to report violent content. Apparently reporting death threats is 'targeted harassment' of the moderators now
If I wanted to be noticed, I'd go outside. The reason I liked reddit, more than any other social media, was because my identity was practically irrelevant. Only my posts mattered.
Just leave and be forgotten. Why bring good or bad attention to reddit? Most humans in pre-tech history have been born, then died, then were forgotten.
My old account is still there, what's a good way to get it banned in protest?
dont get banned, just delete your account. reddit is notorious in unbanning people to inflate their user count to investors.
I’m still on both. Here for all of the political stuff and and anti-Reddit post and on Reddit I’m still in the subreddits that aren’t on here yet. Mainly a lot of crafting related stuff. And whenever someone complains about censorship on Reddit I respond with Lemmy as a suggestion. If I get banned I get banned. We’ll see.
I think someone runs a crosspost bot that can copy a subreddit to here. I don’t recall who though. Might be a good solution to the missing technical/niche subreddits on lemmy.
