So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn't do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.

I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)

I got banned for making an account just to post in the World Cup threads but the sub wouldn't let me post because my account needed to be older and have a certain amount of karma

This "you can't post message" came with a note saying I could message a mod and then a link to click to do just that, so I did

I explained I wasn't a bot, I was a human, I'd prove it however they wanted, but I couldn't really wait days to post because the World Cup is happening now and in 3 or 4 days I'd miss like 12 games

They responded saying that I had zero karma and had not made any posts...

So I replied that yeah, this is exactly true because I don't like reddit I only signed up to post in the World Cup Match threads

I received a very nasty reply where they told me that reddit was super popular with millions of users and that it wasn't their problem I didn't like reddit and then my account got banned

I believe the World Cup is super popular and so it's not just a random sub ran by random people in the world... but a sub made by reddit and moderated by reddit employees. So I just told a reddit employee I hate their site and so they banned me

It's a pretty shit site
