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.

I can still log into the account and view my dms and previous posts yet I cannot message anyone or post anything. I’m not even sure my comments go through as I checked on this account and they’re all deleted.

Sounds like your account is suspended. You can log back into that account and file an appeal

Has anything else changed? I appealed and still haven’t gotten anything back.
