Lol. I got perma-banned for violating rules under my alt accounts. But I don't have any alt accounts...??? Appeal process is a joke. I just opted to delete my 12 year old account instead and have stopped going there. Oh well, probably time for them to go under and be reborn anyways. The default subs and front page has been garbage for some time.

I'm permanently banned from Reddit for calling a "power mod" of SF Bay Area a nimby when he was complaining about increased traffic in his neighborhood and that they had to put a stop sign up at a major intersection. They IP and hardward device banned me, it's crazy! Any appeal auto-rejected and can't make new accounts.

  This is where someone does need to buy up Reddit to clean that out.

    Any word can be a dirty word when someone who is definitely that thing is insecure about being that thing. Bonus points - those kind of people tend to love going around calling other people that thing too.

i deleted my reddit account because the feed is organized for you. It is entirely possible that reddit will organize a feed designed to make you come to a certain conclusion across viewing a number of posts. And whether this is done purposefully by some bad actor or it is done because some algorithm latches on to a particular theme, it doesn't matter. I prefer that things be voted directly without interference, which I assume is how hacker news works. The other thing is that it is simply a complete waste of time. Commenting on pop culture or news or whatever, when I could be reading books, working on projects, or otherwise interacting with people in the real world is better. We don't have so much time on Earth, I am not sure I want to keep spending so much of it in cyberspace. https://sustainableviews.substack.com/p/the-day-i-kissed-comment-culture https://sustainableviews.substack.com/p/the-day-i-kissed-com...

If you appeal every so often I've heard it works, but its even dumber.
