They still have your content & don't care at all about the person who generated it. I'm sorry & hope you find a better place to post and own your content over the next decade.
Reddit's appeal system should indicate if a human reviewed the decision.
Did it say the words "automation was not used in this decision" or something similar.
I have personally never seen reddit overturn a ban and they don't spend a lot of time on cases because they have so many nonpaying users it probably makes little economic sense for them to do so.
Maybe the UFC (Union fédérale des consommateur)can help?
Some it magazines also help with these problems.
Disclaimer: i have no idea how the ufc can help or if there are french it magazines. I just looked what i could do in germany and looked at wikipedia what would be the french equivalent.
Appeals have always seemed like a waste of time with Reddit. It’s easier for them to just ban the account and not risk second chances. They don’t seem to really care about the users.
I was banned a few years ago over some nonsense. Probably for the best.
I was also recently permanently banned by Reddit, the only reason why I can think of is because:
1. periodically like every 3-4 months I would be running a script to delete any and all posts and comments. Also every 1-2 years I would delete my account(s), and start brand-new with new accounts (to avoid doxxing).
2. I had 3 alt accounts, one for professional reasons (AI, coding, etc), one for local interests (NYC), and one for fun/shitposting. All three linked to the same email address.
3. I did not violate any rules (except for running a script), I did not upvoted/downvoted each other's posts or upvoted/downvoted the same post from different accounts, each accounts followed different subs.
IMO Reddit is cleaning up house and surely didn't like my deleting my history.
It does seems like it, but I'm completely puzzled by the level of sophistication the attacker must have gone to hack my account. I mean super strong unique password + 2FA + firewall + AV? What individual can hack that? It just doesn't make any sense...
What AV are you running? You mention it in the post as well. A huge number of these services/tools have major vulnerabilities. (The few I used to recommend/trust really haven't ever worked properly with Windows 11.)

I guess I'll just GDPR their ass and legally request that everything I wrote to be deleted.

Thanks for your input.
No, nothing about a human intervention/automation was mentioned.
The exact text is:
> Note: This decision was made without the assistance of automation.
At the end of any messages from the Admin team.
Thanks for the precision. No, I did not get this message.

I really doubt it, but I'll look into it, thanks.

C'est la vie!
> I did not violate any rules (except for running a script)
Was running the script against the rules? If so, why include point #3?
Making a new account is the simplest thing that might work.
Not the least aggravating. Not the most just. Just the simplest. Good luck.
Yup, I'll just do that.
My guess is that you were unknowingly phished outvof your account.

Just Windows built-in av. I know it's not the best, but still...
