Here’s what makes this whole thing absurd
The ban in question was a 3-day ban from r/youll_be_banned which is a subreddit where getting banned is literally part of its punchline. You make a post, you get banned if the mods are in a bad mood, and that’s just the joke
Why on earth would I try to circumvent such a short ban, from that subreddit of all subreddits?
Still, it doesn’t change that I’ve been accused by the automated system, even for something that I did not do
Right after I got that message about the sitewide ban, I panicked and sent a half-baked appeal explaining that I had zero intent. Of course that appeal got rejected because I didn’t explain the context above. You could tell from the wording itself that I was still experiencing the shock of it all
And, well there is a page allowing me to send my second appeal. I’m just scared of it getting rejected again somehow
I think in the meantime, I’m just gonna stop shouting into the void and reach out here to you guys, just to talk it over. It’s been 11 days since the ban, and I’ve been a little depressed about it
Does anyone want to share their experiences?
Edit: Submitted my second appeal which says:
My 3-day ban was from r/youll_be_banned, where bans are part of the joke. I didn’t intentionally evade it. Please review the specific activity behind my permanent suspension; my first appeal lacked context.
Wish me luck, even if my luck is low. If they still don’t hear it, oh well I guess


They use mostly AI to moderate, so unlikely they will ever see your appeal. only an ADMIN can lift a ban. afte ri was banned, i was appealing almost every day last year, until i stopped, recently i made a new account(after 1+years getting ban). you arnt losing anything, i was lurking for that 1+year, while i was on lemmy.
also satisfying my curiosity of how people are getting banned, including the of accounts, i went to another forum. Most people reddit is lurking instead, because of the fear of being banned.
reddit mostly is bots right now, reddit suddenly lost alot of engagement because AI stopped scraping it because its just AI posting AI generated reposts.
