Btw the german text reads “This account has been suspended”, with buttons to log in and sign up

    On the flip side of this, my main account was banned there but my alt account that I’ve also had for a few years now wasn’t. And I’ve even made a post or two with it there in the months since my main was banned, just to see.

    And the funny thing is, the last time I was a banned for a few days (I managed to successfully appeal), they also banned my alt account that I had never even posted on before. Then unbanned it along with my main account after my appeal. So clearly their systems are aware that the two accounts are the same person.

      it means thier filters are banning any account regardless of you evaded a ban, lol. so thier AI is very error prone. one of my main acc recieved a temp ban, i decided to use a old alt acct to comment on a different sub, it triggered a ban on all my accts. they definitely know you have linkeda ccts if you use multiple accs on the same IP or device. personally i think they are sanitizing the site.

      Additionally i think they also ban if they caught you in a spam (comment deleted by a subreddits auto-spam detection, even if it dint warrant a reportable or ban offense). the reddit filters flags your acct as soon as it detects your comments get removed by a subreddits filter too. we know they check for posting behaviour, writing style and spammy comments.

        Yeah, I also get the impression that they’re making it more ‘radio friendly’ for advertisers and shit. I used Reddit for a little bit over a decade, used to be a lot more rowdy there back then, and about two years ago I got hit with my first suspension for an anti religion, then my second and my third in the same year, also for stupid shit. Didn’t bother appealing the first two but managed to successfully appeal that third one. And I’ve been hanging on since then until a couple of months ago.

        posting behaviour, writing style

        I think they would definitely catch me on these if I had to spend too much time there.
