I forgot how weird and pretty shit Reddit is, since I have been using Lemmy most of the time.
Got iPhone issue, searched for it and got a Reddit thread on the iPhone subreddit. Great but couldn’t fix it. I made a comment something along the lines of “got the same issue, clueless what to do”.
An hour later and got banned for it on the iPhone subreddit lol. They claim, I was “ban evasion”. I double checked my accounts and I have literally never been banned on the iPhone subreddit.
So I’d have to say thanks to them to prove the fact that, I have made the right decision of leaving Reddit.
You must log in or # to comment.
If you were on Reddit you have not left Reddit.
If you were on Reddit you have not left Reddit.
Tell me, you have not read the post - without telling me it.
Tell me you are on the iPhone subreddit but you’ve left Reddit.
I will tell you the steps and then block you. I thought exhausting people would only be on reddit but I was immensely wrong. I know you can still comment and such but at least, I don’t have to see and deal with it.
- Google “problem x with iPhone”
- iPhone subreddit appears
- Open the link and hope for a answer
- Find out that your account is still on there
- Make a message and hope for the best
- Leave
Goodbye. Blocked.

If you’re on cell service and not wifi, it’s easy to end up with an originating IP the same as someone else; the same as if you had used a VPN.
This was through PC on cable, so still not sure what caused the ‘‘ban evasion’’ message besides the one comment I made lol
Other Redditors in your house? I have also seen people in the same Apartment complex behind CGNAT end up with same IP.
Ban Evasion is usually because they are seeing something on their end, that looks like you’re also someone they’ve banned before. IP address, usually.
There are lots of things nowadays that cause you to share IPv4 addresses because we literally ran out of ones to assign.
It just means some shitheel is sharing the same internet as you.
Yup reddit lets you create an account in seconds, no email verification at all, they’re extremely ban happy and it’s only got worse in the last year.
