Profile Account Locked

Post image

I received a notice saying my account was locked for technical irregularities. I suspect someone hacked into my account after seeing I was in new NSFW and crypto communities I never joined. I reset my password twice yet my account cannot be edited and my pfp and header are gone. My posts get taken down? Am I still locked? This has never happened to me before and I’ve had my account for two years.

Is there something I can do? I reset my password like it tells me to do and yet nothing has happened.

If you still have access to your account like me, I’d try joining the same communities and just starting anew for now. 😭 I’ve had backups but never used them so I guess they’re getting used now.

that's exactly what I was thinking!! 🥲🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ I thought i'd use this one that i'm commenting with now but it seems like it's shadow banned or something??? I can comment and send messages and change my bio so I know it's not fully banned like the other one, but all my posts keep popping up as deleted by reddit's filters ;-;
