Reddit banned my 17-year-old account as I was reporting all the scammy/crypto ads as misinformation. I didn't comment or post anything that would be considered a TOS / Policy violation, but they still banned my account under that. I asked for a review from the admin, and they replied that their decision is final and that I should look at the Content Policy and not violate it but never giving me the exact reason / policy violation.
Why invest your time/effort into any ecosystem which doesn't have a proper redressal mechanism?
I am not contributing to reddit anymore, I think as with all entities/companies/empires they are past their prime and they are on the down. I remember when a lot of users jumped ship from Digg to Reddit, I wish another entity comes along which is better than reddit.
- dmichulke 3y agoI got banned twice for using abbreviations like SQL or JS because the mods assumed I must be shilling shitcoins. It was in a crypto-related reddit but in a thread about programming algorithmic trading bots. Looks like the wrong sword cuts both ways, too.
