I’m a lurker. I don’t post on facebook or reddit or anywhere. Today I randomly got a message from reddit that my account was permanently banned for apparent repeated violations of their site wide rules. I have the ReVanced app on my phone that blocks ads on reddit just so those scumbags can’t profit off me lurking, but it’s the only reason I could fathom that is why I’ve been banned. Anyway I just wanted to vent so thanks for reading this if you did. Reddit fucking sucks.

    very different social media but I recently got banned from Instagram and the reason they provided was me evading a ban, meanwhile I had ONE account 6 years ago that lurked and followed family members and AFAIK hasn’t been banned

      I haven’t been banned from Reddit till now though if we are talking of different social media, does LinkedIn count? They wanted me to prove that I am a real person one day and upload some verification document/proof for that. I was running LinkedIn without any profile image and hardly ever opened it. One day I suddenly made couple of comments for first time and next day, came the hammer.
