I disagree. They ban for trumped-up reasons and being banned from 2 seperate subs makes you susceptible to just having your account banned from all of reddit temporarily.
There is NO human to appeal to in the ban process and sometimes no explanation of why you got banned.
Reddit use outrageous tracking techniques to try and detect stuff like multiple account usage and manually upvoting the same stuff with 2 accounts.
They seem to have made it illegal to have more than one account, but haven’t announced this anywhere. If they don’t want people to accidentally break their rules they need to make account formation harder, perhaps tie it to a phone number or wait for approval.
They’re also dishing out bans for being pro-Palestine now, which might be why some fediverse instances like PieFed have/had a Palestine flag in their logo.
If you got banned not from a sub of Reddit but all of Reddit then that’s on you.
If you got banned once, then it’s probably Reddit being a moron.
If you got banned twice, then it’s still probably Reddit being a moron.
But if you got banned thrice, then the problem is you.
Same idea as the “If everyone in the room is an asshole, then the asshole is probably you.”
