Did you get banned from all of Reddit or just one specific sub? Considering the amount of fucked up places on that site, I’m pretty sure you’d have to have done something pretty extreme to get kicked out.
Sub mods are famously petty though, so if it’s just a sub I wouldn’t take it personally.
I know you meant this soothingly, but the message was from reddit itself, not a subreddit and it read
Your account has been permanently suspended for breaking the rules.
Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit's content policy.
This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.
I then sent an
appealto the tune of "What exactly did I get banned for?" and they responded:
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out to the Reddit admin team.
After investigating, we’ve found that your account was in violation of Reddit’s Content Policy, and your ban remains in place.
To avoid future bans, make sure you read and understand Reddit’s Content Policy, including what’s considered ban evasion.
This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.
Looking at it in the light of day, that both were "automated messages" was probably why they were so terrible at explaining to me what I actually did wrong.
I can think of only two specific reasons for why I might have been permanently suspended.
1. I have gotten into internet fights about LGBT+ rights, either I went too far without realizing, or a biggoted admin saw them and wanted me banned for being pro-LGBT+
2. I did somewhat recently make multiple comments jokingly threatening another users life. Maybe, despite the other user taking it as the joke it was, the admins didnt?
