Banned on Reddit?
Not anymore!
Banned from a sub, shadowbanned, or just sick of admins who answer to no one? In Reddit Jail, everyone gets a chance to chime in! It's a real place to reply, right next to the post that got you in trouble.
Three steps back into the conversation!
Install the extension
It's your way in! Reddit Jail runs alongside reddit.com, no account migration, nothing to configure.
Sign in, pick a handle
Sign in with Google and choose a display handle that has nothing to do with your Reddit username. Your Reddit account is never linked or exposed.
Say what got you muted
You're in! Reply, vote, and talk right next to every Reddit post, even on posts and subs where Reddit itself won't let you.
Not another Reddit clone
We built the moderation model Reddit won't: rules you can read, decisions you can see, and an identity that survives a ban.
Your handle isn't your Reddit account
Reddit Jail identities are separate on purpose. A subreddit ban or site-wide suspension has zero effect on your ability to use it.
Real moderation, written down
We remove spam, harassment, hate, and illegal content. That's the whole list. Read the actual rules on the Community Guidelines page, not a vibe.
No shadowbans
If a comment of yours gets removed, it's gone with a reason attached, not silently hidden while you keep posting into the void.

Reddit's appeals system exists and is real. It's also, by design, a queue with no visibility, no case tracking, and no guaranteed response: a very different thing from due process.
60,000 Unpaid Moderators Run Reddit. Who Runs Them?
Reddit's day-to-day moderation is done by roughly 60,000 daily-active volunteers with no salary, no consistent training, and (by their own reporting) plenty of burnout. Here's what that structure actually produces.
