If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered

I got permabanned from /r/askhistorians for posting a link to reveddit, a site where you could view deleted posts. I did that to inform people that they could use that site to see all the posts that the mods remove (in that subreddit they remove any post that does not provide references).

I thought that the worst case would be that my post would get deleted and I would get a warning. No, they just permabanned me.

I was mad so I appealed telling them that it's wrong to permaban people for reasons like this. I understand permaban for offensive content. But I still don't understand their action.

Discussing with them proved that while one of them one reasonable and understanding, the other was completely mad about my action and wanted me to be almost on my knees pleading to remove the permaban. Eventually they "did a vote" and I stayed permabanned. I tried again one year later to no avail - I figured, maybe one year later they would get over it. Nope.

I just stopped checking and recommending /r/askhistorians ever since.

I once created a community about sharing IPTV subscription tutorials and Firestick-related tutorials to solve the problem. Because some text and content were said to be due to copyright issues, banned them, causing me to lose some followers. I was sad for a long time because I really worked hard in this community. It takes me a long time to run it almost every day. It has also helped many sports fans and IPTV users solve related problems. Later, I re-created some groups to share my tutorial content, (r/ IviewHDIPTVservice.r /SomeIPTVservices.r/OTV_IPTV) is currently stable. It feels like running a Reddit account takes too much time and is too restrictive! All kinds of teasing... Sometimes it just seems like a joke!

I created r/keitruck and r/Seattlegay using two separate accounts obviously. Somewhere during the pandemic, I started getting a ton of unreachable content warnings. Like I couldn't tell where they were coming from or from who. So I couldn't actually delete any comment that might have offended someone. I would see one or two per hour. One day it was one every few minutes. When I woke up the next day, all of my accounts were permanently banned. I couldn't even create a new account. They banned by actual hardware address or something.

Banned because I made a meme that reddit was once a platform for free speech now a social engineering tool, found any excuse on my profile to give me a label of hate speech, and also because I disagreed with abortion.

And.now you've been "unfairly" banned here on lemmy.ml.

What you people don't understand is that intolerance isn't a right. No one has to, and no one ever should, tolerate you being intolerant of others.
