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.
At least a banned account can still lurk without any of the restrictions you face when you aren’t logged in. It’s what I’ve been doing.
And yeah the hacked app was probably what got you banned. Heard it quite a few times. Might not be because of the app itself but because your modified version messed with Reddit’s device fingerprinting and you got flagged as being somehow related to a large number of other banned accounts. They’ve cranked the ban evasion filter up to 11 in the last few years and it’s insanely easy to get flagged now.
