It's a sign to layoff Reddit and be active on Lemmy.

I asked for a recommendation for raw denim repair in my city subreddit. Removed and suspended. 15 year old account.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My guess: bot mods. Reddit employed some LLM-based bot "moderation" across the site, and those bans are false positives.

Reddit is corporate-controlled and moderators/administrators can run amok so easily. I was banned from /r/news years ago with no explanation...I appealed several times with no responses.

I founded /r/AskBibleScholars and have no issues there.

I believe that you already know the answers to your own questions.

Reddits been turning to shit for years. Surprised people here still use it.

They ban you for all kinds of nonsense. I had a couple turned over on appeal. My latest ban was for 7 days for threatening violence because I said I hoped those guys who got caught fomenting unrest in Greenland were charged with something serious made an example. The comment was on topic, within the confines of the justice system and made no threat against anyone. Reddit has some really weird moderation. I just deleted the account. Fediverse is better for actual engagement anyway.

Reddit's moderation bots have been extremely trigger happy for many years.

I got my main account, 10+ years club, suspended... appealed it, and got banned. Then every account I had ever logged into with the same IP, app, or browser as the banned one, at any moment in the past, got banned in cascade.

Once you get on Reddit's bad side, there's no going back. Suspensions add flags to Reddit's internal "shadow profile" of every account ever linked in any way. They all become more likely to get flagged and suspended, which gets them flagged even more in turn, until Reddit's ban-evasion system kicks in. Then, they're all toast.

To add insult to injury... once triggered, the bots go back checking your history, applying the most recent moderation guidelines retroactively. Over the following months, the account kept getting notifications about old comments being removed, followed by subreddit bans.

Yeah, forget it, it is a bots place anyway... my account is maybe 15 or 16 years old, I emptied everything with a tool, I still have the account and lurk from time to time for some sub, but never upvote/post/comment since the API fiasco

idk but i just got perm banned an hour ago for saying that maybe nyc subway riders shouldn't sit around watching tiktokers commit assault and battery on sleeping passengers, on a video of a tiktoker committing assault and battery on a sleeping passenger where nobody even said anything and barely looked away from their phones. Never going back.

It's a broken shithole of a website, didn't you get the memo?

These posts boggle the mind. How can you be so unaware of reddit's downfall?! I'm supremely envious, unironically.

I was banned quite some time ago. I was a 13 year user at that time. I used Reddit without any issues for many years, until a few years back when my posts started to get removed and got temporary bans. I was permanently banned for a response to a post where someone that said it was a women's own fault for getting raped as they should dress appropriately, that man was hit by a woman. I posted that he deserved that. I got banned right away for "inciting violence". I guess it is OK to incite rape? I don't really miss it that much, but maybe I'll still try again some time. I'll just refrain from any meaningful discussion.

Big jump in the use of poorly written mod bots, annnd the roll out of an AI profiler which gives mods a summary of the personalities & interests & Reddit behaviour of any user participating in their subreddit.

A suspension which is reversed on password reset? That sounds odd. Best thing to do would be to password reset to unsuspend the account and then immediately raise a ticket with the admins.
