Your account still works, you can still view everything (excluding those that have blocked you), but you have a banner at the top that says you’re banned and you can’t vote, post or comment. You can’t send messages or use chat either.
You can still edit your previous comments and posts.
Justified or not, reddit have clearly stepped up their banning protocols, around 6 months or so ago or maybe even late last year (ie before the planned API price rise, well before even the announcements).
Lol yeah. But mainly you still have all your subscribed subreddits, multireddits and all that. Going from the front page of an account you’ve built up over many years to the latest default reddit can be a bit of a shock.
Like I say though, the more annoying thing is the way it’s supposed to be a passive reddit experience, but all the buttons for voting and replying are still there. Yet, if you click them you get a pop up reminding you, and you can’t scroll again until you dismiss it. They should just remove the buttons.
IMO those are the least important aspects of an account. It takes very little time to resub to a list of subs you have right in front of you and turn them into a new multi. Overall the way bigger issue here is: everyone get the fuck off Reddit it’s fucking trash.

Depends how many subreddits. There are maybe tools around to make it a little easier, but you have to find them and dig them out of github.

Yes to reddit being trash, but I wouldn’t be so exclusive. Sometimes you need to dig through the trash. Just be sure to remember that it’s trash, and wash yourself afterwards.
I can’t fathom going back to being a user there, it’s just too abusive and such a bad experience, but I’ll use old threads that come up on Google for their information, sure.
It’s very easy to fall into the habit of reading a conversation and wanting to chime in. But yeah, the nature of the conversation on reddit has definitely changed over the years. The irony is that this is probably somewhat astroturfed to “increase user engagement”, when it is ultimately driving users away.
Why? Even in a world where OP is an asshole Reddit should still tell you what comment is getting you banned and give you the opportunity to dispute it. That’s the main problem here, unilateral decisions you never have any insight on.
True, but I hate getting people riled up and commenting, if in the end this guy was actually just a POS.
Edit: The web archive history shows they post in all the same type of communities and like talking about all of the same stuff that will get you the same end result here on Lemmy. Just seems like a human thing at this point when discussing politics/gender/sexuality. Like most other places it seems to take just a handful of people reporting you and you’re gone.
If they’re banned, then you won’t see their comments on their profile, just a banned icon. They might not see them on their own profile either on new reddit, however they can still access their profile on old reddit. This shows 1,000 comments in each list (New, Top, Hot, Controversial, with the date filters) but not necessarily everything.
Incidentally, the tools most people used to edit/delete their reddit history only targeted these lists, so they’d quite often miss things - if you had a profile with lots of comments over a long time, with old comments that had low but not controversial karma, then these wouldn’t end up in your profile lists. As of late 2022/early 2023. Aside from all the comments reddit restored after people deleted (which they blamed on their CDN issues, as if that somehow absolved them), many people thought they’d deleted everything but in fact they’d left plenty of comments behind. They then deleted their accounts and now cannot access them, the vast majority are probably unaware.
You should still be able to see their comments and posts where they are, so long as they haven’t been removed. However whatever got them banned was no doubt also removed.
Yep, and, at least until the API change, you could feed that into tools to make sure you got all of them. I didn’t see any of the comments I deleted in this way restored, however I did see comments restored when using the tools on my profile.

Last I checked I could still vote, just not coming on anything
LMFAO.
“Your account still works”
lists all the many many ways your account no longer works

Well then I’d like OP to share his comment history with us.

Even if you’re banned, you can still make GDPR requests, which Reddit is required to comply with. They include your entire comment history.

Id rather confess to the murder
