Reddit banned me for absurdity of its own. (lemmynsfw.com)

My account has been banned by reddit for a most absurd reason.

First, I recieved warnings text of which said they were auto generated. Since auto generated content is least reliable, I ignored them.

Second, the warnings were themself irrational. Social media always has a share button. If a post is supposed to remain private, either it should be mentioned on top of it or shall be posted in a private community. Posts I shared were on public pages and I did not claim copy right. In fact, details of model and photo studio were explicitly visible.

Now I'm very very disappointed by Reddit. What sort of naive policy is it. I had an account with 10K karma. Had made some original posts with 100s if likes n shares. I want my reddit account back. I don't want to make a new one. I want my original account un-banned. Kindly guide me how may I proceed??

In 2022 I was among the top 1% of karma earners on reddit. And all I did was say things that made me laugh, or think, or just generally contribute to the conversation. I didn't post much original content. Just mostly text replies in the comments.

Then in 2023 they banned me. I hadn't broken rules. It was automods claiming my text btoke rules. When I read the text of the offending posts, I do not understand. It didn't break rules.

The 3rd strike that banned me wad on /r/Cleveland. Someone posted a picture of a guy stealing his bike.

I posted the reply:

When I was 7, I had my bike stolen. Kind of looked like this guy. However that was 30 years ago, so it can't be him. Maybe it's a father/son business?

I got banned for "Harassment of reddit community members".

Who am I harassing exactly?

10 year old account. Something like 200k comment karma. Probably close to a million comments.

My account was "reviewed by a human" who denied my appeal 45 seconds after I submitted it.

I'll let you draw your own conclusions on how it was handled. And no. I never got my account back.

At this point, reddit is inundated with so many bad actors who get legitimately banned, the false positives like your are just lost in the noise and they don't care. All the better for lemmy however!
