That's why i deleted Reddit account twice and I moved to Lemmy, I don't want forcing you to use shitty Reddit app to view Unreviewed content subreddits (lemmy.world)

Well that's not fair.

How are you seeing that an email is required? Is it when you try to post something? My account is banned so I just us it to lurk but I can still log in.

My account is banned. I can still log in and lurk, but not post, upvote, etc. And, as I already said: When I log in to the main site, it says "account permanently banned". When I log in to old reddit, it says "provide an email to reactivate your account".

I didn't see where you already said that. Weird though that it happens to you and not me. Seems like we're doing the same things otherwise. I did recently have an issue where my adblock was preventing me from logging in on firefox but it was just saying my username/password were invalid. If you have that going maybe try turning it off to log in and see what happens.

Whoopsies! I posted that to a similar conversation in a completely different thread, I got confused. My apologies. I don't know what you mean when you say that it is happening to me but not to you. You say that your account is banned and that you can only lurk - sounds exactly the same as my experience. Nothing to do with adblock as I have confirmed the problem on multiple platforms.

I missed the part where you said you could log in. So yea I think our experience is consistent. You got banned for not having an email on your account?

I can't remember the exact wording of the justification for the ban, but it was something vague like "violation of site wide policy". I did not do anything questionable to trigger a ban. I suspect that the real reason for the ban was to force me to provide an email address. The reason I think that is that old reddit displays the message "provide an email address to reactivate your account".
