WTF is going on. They removed my ban 2 days ago.
I was able to make a few comments on reddit this morning, including:
I've never ONCE IN MY LIFE called for violence or promoted violence. It's antithetical to my very being.
And almost immediately I was banned for "violent content."
This time it says "the ban will not be lifted."
WHAT??
that's creepy af but yeah.
It would be so easy for them to do this. Wouldn’t be surprised at all. At the same time as long as he doesn’t use that password anywhere else it’s inconsequential right? They already own all his data.
I actually just used this and it didn’t work right. I’m not sure if it was super buggy or if reddit built some kind of defense against it. Maybe I messed something up but I tried following the instructions to a T. Ended up writing a small script to do it myself. Sad thing is I’m sure they have back ups (and people outside of reddit also have backups) and no way they delete all the logs.
But your advice is correct regardless, definitely the best thing you can do.
