I got permanently banned on Reddit because I support punishment and public humiliation for mass school shooter in the comment section.

After I submitted an appeal in the first time, I got rejected. Reddit appeal page still appears on my Google, but I don’t sure what kind of words should I write for an appeal in the next time.

I also downloaded Proton VPN app but I saw people stated that Reddit can find a way to track down the VPN account in some cases.

Any safe tips?

    I got perma-banned yesterday… too for a dumb joke that was misunderstood by their oversensitive algorithm. It wasn’t the first time, either. I’m not a hateful or bigoted person but their content filters think I am. Finally, I decided I didn’t need to justify myself to their nameless faceless algorithm. I’m going cold turkey without my Reddit addiction, and I’m going to really make a go here on the Fedi.

    new email that’s not linked to your old one, reddit doesn’t ban your IP.

    Or just take it as time to make a clean break, reddit is becoming a dumpster fire.

        Banning by IP address is a bad practice. For example, you are connected to your home, campus, work office, restaurant, or airport public Wi-Fi access point (AP), leave a comment, and now everyone who is connected to the same AP sharing the same IP address get banned.

    I’ve been through this. If you used the app on your phone they tie your account to your device. The app is very intrusive. I went down the rabbit hole of trying everything a fellow banned redditor did step by step and many ways around a permaban. They all don’t work. The solution: use a different device that you didn’t use for reddit before.

    VPN and TOR browser makes you have a shadow ban eventually, so don’t try that.get a new device.

    I was on Reddit and commented that a CEO that exploits their employees should be exploited as well and got a permaban and they deleted the comment, filled an appeal and asked why i can’t call out a CEO for exploitation and they responded that the ban was unfounded and the comment restored and the ban “lifted”, it wasn’t and i couldn’t be bothered to pursue further so do the sensible thing and let it die, it’s liberating.

    Also here’s proof of their incompetence.
