Afaik they ban based on VPN IP by default, even on old accounts (rip my account there), and even in the chance using VPN is legitimate. But if they actively say "we don't want you", my advice would be, don't act like you're begging to go back to an abusive relationship.

or… don’t go back? Stockholm syndrome much

That's what I meant. Sorry if I sounded confusing.

And to @danio13, hope your like your stay!

Also if you use microblogging platforms (e.g. Mastodon) and non-fediverse forums that don't ban you for sneezing wrong and that have RSS feeds, might I suggest adding them to @birb? Saves you having to manually go to each forum to see what's new. =)

Wtf really?

Going by reports I'd see, people I see banned from Reddit mainly were either promoting alternatives or using VPNs.

And since I experienced my own account being silently banned when I tried to log in, being logged to a VPN at the moment I tried to log in, and I hadn't used it since I learned about ActivityPub so no local comments about the fediverse, seems very likely to be the case.

That, or they're monitoring people even when the user is away from their platform, which would be creepy at best.
