It may not be that long compared to some of yours out here. It stings because that account was my main account, so many memories in it and I even met my wife through it. Unfortunately, I have recently experienced what I can only describe as sabotage on my account.

I don’t know much about how Reddit and moderation works behind the scenes but recently everything I post in different subs keeps getting auto-removed without any explanation whatsoever. If I message the mods of those subs, then there are only three responses: 1) no response whatsoever, 2) sarcasm and unkindness without actually assisting me, and worse 3) a permanent ban without further elaboration.

Googling “how to report abusive Reddit mods” comes up with a bunch of threads all saying the same thing: there is no way to report them. Additionally, I have encountered individuals who dismiss or deny the existence of moderator abuse within the platform. I’ve decided it’s just not worth my mental stress to put up with this circus and just start anew and keep a low profile. I’m also trying out here in Lemmy, maybe this is better.

Please be better.

    What you’re describing is exactly what happened to my account. I started a really popular subreddit called r/keitruck. Go check it out. It’s still alive. I was smart enough to ask for help to keep it alive. But now I don’t know if that was smart. I much rather start a new one here or on its own server even. Anyway, as soon as it started getting popular I started getting the auto removed messages. One day I got just a ton of them. The next day I got banned from the entire site from all my accounts.
