I find it weird that they upload content to their own servers even when you provide them with an external link.

Or they could just compression for their PNGs. PNG is a lossless format so they’ll only lose a fraction of a second during creation.

Interesting. I wonder if things have changed from a few months ago, or are not all bans equal.

When did you do this? Some time recently?

The cross posting was annoying because there was a lot of it and there was no engagement. I’d prefer a few submissions with actual engagement than a ton of ghost town submissions.

Create a new account and use Reddit like you normally would if that’s something you want to do. I’ve been site wide banned for 1-2 weeks earlier this year and I used an alt account throughout with zero repercussions.

I got site wide banned earlier this year for 1-2 weeks because I stated to a mod that I was going to circumvent their sub ban with an alt account. I got instantly permanently banned from a sub for holding a having a different opinion to the mod. I used an alt account using the same IP addresses and devices and didn’t do abything; not even a warning.

It’s not in the interest of Reddit to permanently ban you from their website. They lose advert money and they lose actively monthly users numbers which affect their stock prices.
