Title is pretty much it. Woke up this morning to an email in the inbox with a reddit message notification from u/reddit
Your account has been permanently suspended for breaking the rules.
The thing is not only have I not been on reddit since the protest (barring google searches while not signed in on a private browser, for specific questions unfortunately), but it’s a lurker account. I have one post from a year ago asking a question, then a few sporadic comments with the last being in April.
I suppose the breakup with Reddit is a mutual thing now lol. Just a very strange scenario.
Side question: Why do Reddit and Twitter and all of these other social media shitshows use idiotic terminology like ‘permanently suspended’? Surely the correct term is ‘banned’. The word suspended in this context usually implies a temporary nature.
Darn, I promoted Lemmy and KBin on Reddit, Voted for mods to continue the protest, encouraged people to request their data from Reddit, and linked my KBin in my bio before completely leaving the platform.
I still haven’t gotten the message of honor :(
Rip off the band-aid and delete your account.
That’s the real
message of honor
I am waiting for my data, so I can request it’s deletion.
Also in case anyone is wondering, PRAW and the reddit api still work somehow, I was able to grab my saved posts, in case they are lost with the account.
Can confirm. Exact same scenario. Being permabanned means having read-only access for the most part, with the sole exception being that one is allowed to edit and delete existing posts and comments.
