So, I know this isn’t a help forum or anything but, being Lemmy I’d think some people are on the same boat as me too.

I got permanently Banned in reddit for vote manipulation, I foolishly and childishly used 2 accounts to up vote myself to make it seem I was winning arguments. I then created a new account to start fresh but I didn’t know that counted as a Ban Evasion(I didn’t know ban Evasion was a thing), but that got banned too.

I’ve appealed by apologizing since I am guilty and genuinely sorry , however I’m not a spambot or anything. I made a mistake and just want a second chance.

Is there anything else I can do to start fresh “safely”? (factory reset my android device? I Can’t change my external IP tho) Has anyone been on a similar situation and gotten their account reinstated?

Being honest I like Lemmy but it’s nowhere near as populated as Reddit, sadly
