I just got permanently banned from Reddit for literally nothing. No vitriolic comments. Nothing was modded. I have no other accounts.

The only thing I can think of is that I use a VPN. That’s it.

Edit: Come to think of it I did use a revanced modded client. Perhaps this was the reason.

    Yeah, but when you get reported for breaking actual Reddit tos (like hatred or smth=instead of just subreddit rules, some actual mod/admin will be able to see it, no?

    And idk how they see the situation, but if they see a mass of reports for hate for dozens of comments, I’m assuming the admins can’t be arsed to really read the conversations properly.

      Yeah I’m not sure. I reported some things and it should have gone to the mods, but somehow the admins saw it and acted on it. Agree mods and admins won’t read things properly, I’ve had things removed because I quoted the previous person and they thought I was the one saying it.

        Yeah exactly this sort of callousness from them is what I mean.

        So if there’s even a bit of a confrontational tone in the comment and it has dozens of reports, they just click “ban” and don’t give a fuck.
