Account suspended
Account suspended
Browsing Reddit at work like I've literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won't let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don't have one. Can't get the email to reset the password, can't add an email now. I can be logged in but can't vote or comment or post. A 12 year old Reddit account down the drain. The password was unique, 20 characters with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols. Generated by my password manager. No way someone compromised my account. Thanks, Reddit.
Unverified account? Straight to jail.
It wasn't compromised. If you can't be tracked and cross referenced with all the other data that brokers have, your activities aren't worth anything to reddit and they don't care about that account.
Let us into your house or we'll burn it down.
Hey, it looks like you're not giving us all your personal data. That's a mighty fine account ya got there. Be a shame if something were to ... happen to it. About that personal data now...
So, that's confirmed, tartigrads suck at playing violins.
Hey, he's trying his best!!
On the bright side, that's more time to loaf around on Lemmy, and the Fediverse, then!
They're quietly removing all such accounts. They won't even allow accounts without email addresses anymore.
Oddly enough, I suddenly couldn't log into my old account today either. I used the word Lemmy in a chat, so I assume that's it. I literally never post and rarely comment. Right in line for that shitsack site. I don't know why I expected better from reddit than just straight up locking you out.
Sad to hear, Reddit accounts are still useful (to promote Lemmy for instance)
amazing you made it 12 years! That's probably a record for most people. Reddit will find any way possible to permanently ban any account they randomly choose. anyway congrats on making it 12 years.
I saw this coming as soon as they killed the old mobile site. I generated a new gmail address to placate Reddit's requirements, just in case I needed to modify old comments. Of course I unfortunately realized they were backing up and restoring old comments anyways, and that most of it was likely sold before the API debacle. But I can still get back in whenever I want, not that I really want to. Just like Digg. And Fark.
Same here, verrry annoying

Look at the bright side: Reddit suspended you before your employer found out you've been slacking at work for 6 years and did it themselves.
Thanks Reddit!
Depends on the workplace. Sometimes, waiting is part of the job. It’s not necessarily sneaky activity. There are unfortunately also legitimate reasons to browse it, which I’ve done so to get answers to technical questions.
