Short Reddit. Join Lobste.rs.
I got locked out of the whole site, essentially because I use multiple accounts for anonymity reasons (as many do, given that almost all Reddit clients support it) combined with the fact that I accidentally posted to a subreddit from a different account than one I had been banned on, on that subreddit. (I'd literally forgotten. The reason doesn't matter, because even a single untoward or misinterpreted comment shouldn't result in a sitewide ban. Mod having a bad day? This one literally did not accept my apology. WTF?)
Anyone who actually looked at the accounts they traced back to me via advanced machine-learning-driven fingerprinting and considered me guilty for "circumventing a ban" without even investigating, would have seen that 99% of the time I tried to be helpful. I absolutely hate trolls and trolling. (But unfortunately, there are times I'm just "in a mood" thanks to a sleep disorder.)
I can invite anyone here to Lobste.rs if you'd like. It feels like early Reddit. They do ding me if I invite you and you misbehave, though, so please be nice.
