Anyone using Reddit for more than search results is doing it wrong. If you have your own content, figure out how to host it yourself and get on the Fediverse.
I got one for insiding violence, and it was something that everybody could fucking agree on, like punching Nazis or something. I don't remember what it was so long ago. It's fucking bullshit though.
I got one for saying we should destroy a bridge in Königsberg in the name of Euler.
This is a reference to a famous problem in graph theory. This problem has been ruined since they built an extra bridge. It was an obvious joke in context, to an audience that would understand the joke.
Unfortunately, Reddit's so-called "Anti-Evil Operations" team doesn't look at context and said I was inciting terrorism.

"appeal" just means you are gonna waste time typing a message to a smelly incel dog walker on a power trip that isn't gonna read it. Fuck that place.
Reddit has been aggressively banning people for many years. People used to cheer it on because it was mostly aimed at conservatives, but they've expanded and created what appears to be a first-strike policy with no appeal. Now it's affecting everyone. I support consistent application of the rules, but their rules are petty, arbitrary, and broad. A famous example is how they ban people for racism, unless it's racism towards white people. That was literally written into the site rules until recently.
I think Reddit is a lost cause. They peaked long ago and now they're coasting on their moat. As other services like Lemmy gain traction, Reddit will continue to decline, and they will continue to aggressively monetise the remaining users. The only thing to lament is the information already stored on the site.

I got the same exact thing. I think it's because I reported Spez and said "you smell"
I never talk about my exes. Yesterday's gone. It's a new day. Long live Lemmy!

Another reminder to never trust a site run by a guy who has sex with busty cats.
Have you read The Trial? Funny how history repeats itself, even if it's from "fiction".
reddit finds a way to make their ban system somehow even worse
I got permabanned for repeating a meme from the Fark days, yet there are posts of the exact same thing from 12+ years ago that are still up with no issue. Even noting that when I appealed the ban I got the canned "we totally reviewed it, fuck you lol" response.
The only other time I had an issue was when I got a three day suspension for upvoting a Ghislaine Maxwell related post.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
