I’ve been using reddit for over a decade and there’s a few subreddits I’ve been banned from (/r/news, /r/crazyfuckingvideos, etc). Unfortunately, I keep forgetting when I’m browsing. If I accidentally comment in one of those my current account gets banned for ban evasion. Is there a browser extension that can block participation in certain communities but still allow you to see content? I can’t keep having my current reddit accounts permenantly banned like this and then lose all my subscriptions and preferences and friends etc. This has happened twice already.

Please help.

    The funny thing is that I asked this question before, and was also downvoted then too because people think this isn’t something that could ever happen to them and I must be stupid. Trust me folks, give it four more years and a ban or two and you’ll be tearing your hair out just the same and cursing the platform.

      I’m guessing that’s not the reason for the downvotes. Even though this is the reddit community, Lemmy users generally just don’t care about what happens on reddit.

        Ive been here a while and I can definitely say Lemmy users are psychotic. They weren’t always this way though, when I first joined Lemmy people were kinda nice and laid back. But it very quickly became politically charged with extremists on both sides of the political aisle, and thats when everything crumbled.

        Posting and commenting on Lemmy feels like walking on eggshells now, when it used to be chill.
