Venting Permanently banned reddit, feeling more suicidal than I’ve ever been

[Jack25]

I just made a new email and created the account on my PC and it circumvents the ban every time. It just takes a few posts to get past the shadow ban.

I would get banned for the most ridiculous things too. My entire account got banned after I got banned from r/suicidewatch for telling someone not to drink anti-freeze and that there are far more peaceful methods that exist. I've realized I spent way too much time on it anyways.

Mind if you elaborate a little? Was your individual account banned or were you permanently banned? If the latter, how many posts would it take to get past a shadow ban? Would you be allowed to visit the same subreddits after a certain interval of time? Also of course, their moderation is a joke. It sucks that there's little to be done to change that.

Use Tor and created a new email on it. And then create a new account on Reddit using Tor. That's how I bypass bans.

Could you still visit the same subreddits that you used to?

Yup as long as you're in the new account. I've been banned multiple times and this method always works.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth. I really hate the culture on Reddit, but there were a few small communities revolving around niche games and music that I loved to participate in; they were the only communities I truly feel like I belonged. I've tried so many ways to circumvent the ban to no avail, I don't troll on that website at all. I got banned for what was pretty much a misunderstanding

When you're as anti-social as I am, it really is a huge blow. Ever since I've been banned, the things I used to do for fun just don't phase me anymore. I've cried nearly everyday and have no will to eat. I've been trying to break into other hobbies but there's just this profound pain in my heart/body and cloudiness in my brain I can't overcome. I really don't know what to do now…

Reddit sucks, now is full of biggots and people who thinks they are betters than other

At this point it seems to make little sense to register new accounts on Reddit. The registration is de facto closed. You can register, but you would not be able to do anything with a new account on most parts of Reddit without enough "karma" points. If you try to post a message, even on small subreddits, it would most likely be instantly deleted by a lazy moderator's bot. You would not even be able to send private messages, post to your own profile or create a new subreddit.

The required number of points may vary depending on the subreddit and is not disclosed. Although there is an unofficial list of subreddits which allow newcomers to post. Apparently, after registering, your only choice is to go there and write about something you don't give a damn about, just to earn enough points and be allowed to discuss things that really interest you on other subreddits... only to be banned there for some petty reason and have to start everything over again. Which honestly sounds like a Sisyphean task.

To put it shortly, most Reddit moderators make it clear that new members and new ideas are not welcome in their communities. Is it really worth it to try so hard to get on their website, which is already turning into a graveyard of deleted comments and profiles, patrolled by bots that are tasked to "shoot" any karmaless "vagabonds" on sight?
