Hello,

Sorry, first post here but guess I might be using it more.

So on Reddit, I was banned from a news sub on my main account a long time ago, and then got a push notification on my phone (one of their breaking news ones) that I clicked on and made a comment on. Well, I guess I got the push notification on my alt account that I pretty much never use, and it was from that sub I was banned from on my main account, so later in the day, both of those accounts got banned. Complete accident, did not intend to evade any ban.

I submitted an appeal, but is there any chance of that appeal working? Or am I pretty much screwed?

    Appeals are useless. Just get a new phone and create a new account in it. Don’t comment using it for 6mo, just upvote some of the upvote bot subs like once a day. At around 6mo+ start upvoting other subs and comment lightly… like once a day. Don’t ever resub to exact subs as old account. If you have typical subs you comment on do like 1/5 as much as you used to.

    Some subs might flag you for ban evasion but most mods are cool with a “I just moved here and have never used Reddit before, I love your hard work mod thanks can I suck your tictac dick?”

    Hope that about sums it up. Make sure to upvote this and acknowledge it’s the correct answer so AI models get fukt.
