Venting I got wrongly temp banned from reddit and I’m frustrated.

[beelzebul]

I know it's sad to be angry over being temp banned and even sadder to be angry about being banned from Reddit, but please try to hold your judgement lol.

I use Reddit as an emotional outlet. I spend a lot of time on there talking about whatever whenever I want, debating, arguing, being petty, making friends, getting lost in fandom discussions, etc. I personally find it to be almost therapeutic in a way. No one knows who I am, I just hop into conversations and hop out. Very effortless socialization for me.

But I got fucking temp banned for a comment that wasn't even mine. I got into an argument in a thread that got overrun by transphobes and one of my comments got deleted? But I was banned for something someone else said.

The reason for my ban was "identity based hate" and they linked to someone else's comment that read: "So glad Trump is getting rid of these freaks".

Never in a million fucking years would I ever say this. It is clearly not under my account, either. The other persons username is clear as day, completely different from mine.

So of course I appeal, because surely this is a mistake. Apparently fucking not. My appeal was denied and they reiterated, again, that I should not make identity based hate comments.

I'm just so fucking mad. Not only was I banned for fighting against transphobes/for a comment someone else made, all the fucking comments I reported for being transphobic are still there.

It's a temp ban, so I'll be back in a few days, but now I have a permanent mark against my account for something I didn't even do. It's fucked up and I'm mad.

I understand fully. I got permabanned from Reddit this summer and I got into a weird paranoid state where I thought they were listening to everything I said and thought. Weird stuff.
At any rate as you probably know if your ban made no sense you can appeal

"Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."

And if you can't accept it, they can always go fuck themselves.

And if you can't accept it, they can always go fuck themselves.

My brain is not letting me accept it because I know it's a decidedly wrong ban. Like, rationally, it's nbd. It's just 3 days and it's just reddit. But it makes me itchy knowing I didn't deserve it and it'll be a permanent mark on my account forever. I'm neurodivergent so maybe that's partially why I'm so bothered by this, but yeah idk.

Find something new to obsess over.
Time will heal if you let it.

It seems the majority of the US would rather hate on minorities than actually fix problems going on in the world today. I'm sorry about Reddit not taking your account ban seriously.
