So, I know this isn't a help forum or anything but, being Lemmy I'd think some people are on the same boat as me too.

I got permanently Banned in reddit for vote manipulation, I foolishly and childishly used 2 accounts to up vote myself to make it seem I was winning arguments. I then created a new account to start fresh but I didn't know that counted as a Ban Evasion(I didn't know ban Evasion was a thing), but that got banned too.

I've appealed by apologizing since I am guilty and genuinely sorry , however I'm not a spambot or anything. I made a mistake and just want a second chance.

Is there anything else I can do to start fresh "safely"? (factory reset my android device? I Can't change my external IP tho) Has anyone been on a similar situation and gotten their account reinstated?

Being honest I like Lemmy but it's nowhere near as populated as Reddit, sadly

I think you know what needs to happen lemmings…

I’m not saying the GOP won’t do it but getting mad before anything happens will create a avenue of attack for the GOP or make you look dumb when it doesn’t happen.

If the left gets in the habit of calling foul before anything is done when the actual bad news hits it will be less impactful.

Normally I would say let it be but with how much the GOP depend on voters in their party that benefit from Medicaid they are actively trying to soften the blow for when they actually do it.

This issue is a powder keg and if we flinch before it goes off we put ourselves in the blast zone.

You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.

Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @overdevs@lemmy.world don’t solve this issue.

I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.

From the article:

Condé Nast, which owns Ars Technica and other publications such as Wired and The New Yorker, was joined in the lawsuit by The Atlantic, Forbes, The Guardian, Insider, the Los Angeles Times, McClatchy, Newsday, The Plain Dealer, Politico, The Republican, the Toronto Star, and Vox Media.

From another article:

The founders sold Reddit to Condé Nast for $10M less than a year after launch (in 2006). Ohanian and Huffman stayed on for a few years after the acquisition but, eventually, both went on to start other projects. Neither of them would be gone for long.

So, does Condé Nast own Reddit? Not exactly. Condé Nast owned Reddit until 2011 when Reddit became an “independent subsidiary” of Advance Publications—the company that owns Condé Nast, among others.

I hate hidden rules like this...

I only go on there nowadays for my city’s sub and r/nba. I logged on yesterday while I was on a vpn and found out today that my account as suspended due to “unusual activity”. I didn’t register an email when I created that account. Welp, bye bye to that account then.
