On Reddit’s subreddit /r/askReddit there was a question “what do you want to de-normalize?”. I simply said people using personal pronouns and had like 20 upvotes as well. Today I wake up and my Reddit account is banned (not just from that subreddit but all of Reddit). They say the reason is promoting hate. Is there anything I can do about this?

edit: I submitted an appeal, mods can close thread thanks

You can make a new account

Yes. Stop using reddit.

I thought everyone knew the atmosphere over there. All the mods are extremists, so just make a new account with a burner email. In fact, you can type whatever you want as reddit doesn’t require verification

From what I've heard you can just use the contact info in the ban message and ask to have the perm ban changed to a temp ban. If they're willing, they'll ask you to explain what you did wrong in your own words and if they like your answer they'll revert or shorten the ban.

You'll probably just need to make sure to explain to them how you weren't trying to delegitimize an entire group of people by denying them their right to exist and be accepted as they identify & present themselves, and you should be good to go. The important thing is to make sure they understand that the things you do in the future can't be misconstrued as hate speech like the statement you made in your problem post.

Wishing you the best at getting your JKRowlingIsRight account back

Being banned on reddit is pretty much saying you're a sane person.

As far as stealth "let me tell you my opinion on X" threads go this was a pretty poorly disguised one.

 

[cormack12]

Just realise you were probably banned by someone like this

 

[feynoob]

Why do you even need reddit account?
That is digging rabbit hole.

I advice you to not do it, and just browse it. Much better.

Reddit is up against themselves.

It's like the guy finally got a visit from his dad.

Just be glad that you didn't post that in the FFXIV reddit, because you probably would have been doxxed and harassed in game

You gotta tread carefully on Reddit… bunch of the admins/supermods are of the “millions of trans people just died because of what you said” types.

You know most of Reddit and Twitter users are filled with people isolated from the real world that can't form their own opinion and only seek validation from other isolated individuals? It's an echo chamber. Most normal individuals aren't hanging around on the web seeking validation, and live normal lives interacting with people from all walks of life. Even we are fringe here on this message board. The sad part is corporate, loss as they ever are, believe the voice of the people come from these echo chambers while most are worrying about real life issues.

Don't waste your time. Reddit isn't a place for any sort of real discussion.

Stop using Reddit and Twitter and Facebook and Imgur other sites of their type. They are utter trash. Just use GAF. We are (mostly) sane around here.
