No warning, not even a “Don’t do it again email” - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That’s it, gone, banned.

I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that’s banned too. FFS!

No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?

    You said those old accounts hadn’t been used ever or in a long time didn’t you? IIRC, a year or so ago, I think they went through and banned unused/dead accounts to prevent account selling and hacking. So that could be unrelated to the recent ban.

      Ah . Maybe. I had not used them in a few years for sure.

      Although when I tried to login I received a prompt the account was banned.
