Am I ever going to be allowed to get a Reddit account again?

I own no other social media than Reddit. I was seduced by its plethora and diversity of communities and it quickly became the platform where I spent most of my online activity.

However, a few weeks ago, my main account was terminated because of ”hate speech against a minority”. By that, understand that I criticised one of the world's biggest religions. But this is a discussion for another day.

My alt accounts were not banned, so I started to use them instead of my main. I posted on a sub, which I had no memory of being banned from on another account, but apparently I was. So I was given a seven-day suspension for evading a subreddit ban. I was fine with it even though I still can't remember being banned from that sub no matter the account (and when I speak about my alt accounts, I actually had two. Three accounts in total with my main. It's not as if I had dozens of alt accounts.)

But a day or two after I got the seven-day suspension, all of my accounts were permanently terminated. There was no explanation whatsoever, and I had already gotten a sanction for evading a subreddit ban, so I decided to appeal the decision. All I got as an answer was that the decision was right, with the general reminder of respecting Reddit's rules to avoid getting banned again. So I assumed this meant that I was allowed to create a new account as long as I did nothing wrong on it, so I created a new one.

I had the new account for two days before it got definitely suspended too, with no explanation. I did not subscribe nor post on a sub I'm banned from. I did not comment anything against Reddit's rules. Nothing hateful, nothing rude. I appealed again, but I already know what I will get as an answer.

Now I figured that creating a new account would be in vain since it seems that I'm not allowed to be on Reddit anymore. But I still wonder if there's hope that I will be allowed to return some time in the future?

Reddit is the only place I know to come in contact with very specific groups of people, otherwise hard to come by in the vast realm of internet. Though I'm not ”addicted” to Reddit, it was by far my favourite place to go when I have nothing to do during my daily four-hour train ride. I'm really interested in lesser-known countries as well as their languages and history, Reddit was perfect to find people from those countries or also interested by them. Now, I can indeed still view the contents I subbed to, so it's not as if I couldn't access the platform whatsoever. But I'm still a bit sad not to be able to communicate with the communities anymore, since it represented most of my social interactions on the internet. And my in real life social interactions are really shallow and superficial.
 
If you really can't quit reddit and you go read only, dump your accounts and get an RSS reader. Or I think the newfangled thing to do is use a discord bot.

At least make reddit work a little harder to track you - they'll have to look you up by IP instead of by account name, and if you use a hosted RSS reader then they won't get your actual IP address until they deliver something interesting enough to make you click through.

Also if they don't want you around then they don't deserve your up votes.
 
Dear bullies,
See that boy doing his homework in homeroom? Last night he committed his friend out of suicide.
See that girl you just called fat? She is starving herself.
See that old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country.
See that young boy you just made fun of for always being sick? He has to walk home in the snow cause his family is too poor.
See that young boy you made fun of for crying?
His mother is dying.
Repost this if you are against bullying. I bet 95% of you won't.

I too have very niche interests and reddit is the easiest way to access people talking about them

the answer to this problem before it happened was to be so obnoxious that lowlevel jannies boot you before you come to the attention of the higher ups, then you just make a new id

however it's too late for this so you need to use a vpn

also there is a lot of language/culture stuff happening on discord so check that out

youtube comment threads will sometimes have links to communities outside of reddit but you have to wade through a ton of nationalist sperging and you often need to have your linguistic skills up to a certain level in order to even read the comments

the bigger answer is you have to reach out and make personal connections with people and share extra-reddit contact info so they can keep you in the loop. and make real frens. YOU HAVE TO MAKE REAL FRENS. they can still live inside the computer but you need personal relationships based on this mutual interest.

I used to say, for really really real frens, you should give them a phone number they can call and text you at. (Bad idea here on the farms, but I was saying this to normies IRL who primarily use Facebook, give me a break).

My rationale was that on social media, the admins are allowed to censor and ban you at will with no warning. That means if you need to jump ship, you might not be able to reconnect on the other side. But phone numbers? They're a utility, they can't just ban you for wrongthink. They have their downsides - wire tapping, sim cloning, it's not secure. But in the case of a purge, you can probably rely on them enough to say "Hey, my new email address is blah at cockli, we'll find something more user friendly later!"

Having additional backup means of contact is useful even for blood relatives. I have some older, less technologically literate ones who didn't take me seriously until Facebook had that outage a few weeks ago... Holy shit I can't believe they'd stopped exchanging phone numbers, that used to be the only way they communicated!

Unfortunately I don't know what my recommendation is anymore. Sentiment-wise, nothing has changed. But as for specifics... After hearing that the Biden Administration wants to have telecoms monitor people for medical misinformation and block relevant messages... I can't trust them to only censor that one type of message, so I can't make that the final "I don't care if we're overheard, but go to X so we can regroup" communication method.
