Hello. Just today, Reddit greeted me with a permanent ban message stating that I've been permanently banned for harassment. In the image it says "harassment in the following content" followed by blank. The blank area is supposed to be the space where they link me to the content where I broke any of their rules.
In 10 years of my Reddit usage, I have never been rude to anyone let alone harass anyone. This is a mistake from Reddit's end. I immediately tried to appeal stating that I have not broken any rules and it's immoral to give a 10 year old active Reddit account a permanent ban without even providing any content where I broke that rule). But it's known that Reddit appeals are not reviewed by humans, they are automatically denied by bots.
I still checked all my recent posts and comments to find anything controversial that could have been misunderstood for harassment but I didn't find any such thing. I already don't interact with anyone via chats/messages. What is the solution here? Is it okay for Reddit to randomly ban a decade old active account without providing any reason?
