19 yrs on Reddit, permanently banned.
(lemmy.world)
No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.
I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!
No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?
Network admin here, your internal IPv4 address doesn’t matter, external people don’t see it. Your work likely has a static block of external IPv4 addresses and it’s possible that they are rotated through over time so your effective external IP changes slowly. This depends on how big your work organization is and how your network admin set things up
But could it be rotating external addresses literally every day or two?
Like I said, I only make it a day or two with some of these accounts before I say something I typically know will get me banned and I just don't care. Then I'm back in with my new account. It's fully functional. I check to make sure I'm not shadowbanned. I get activity on my posts. And those accounts can be good for months.
I just don't see how Reddit can be IP banning if I'm able to do this.
Yes. It’s Port Address Translation with a pool of external IPv4 addresses
