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.

    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.

    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.
