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".

When a site makes me do that I use one of my domains with a certain four letter word in it beginning with F.
four.com?
I also have a very snarky hotmail account that every year or so I have to take over someones reddit account because they decided to use it.
That's very funny.
Whenever I get prompted for an unverified email address, for example to use wifi in a hotel, I always put [email protected]. Actually, come to think of it, x.com is the new twitter. I have been doing that for many years and never made the connection until now.
Well that's not fair.
Do you have an email address associated with your account? I created my reddit account before email addresses were required. A couple weeks ago I received a site wide ban for unspecified reasons. On the main web site it just said that I had a permanent ban. But on old.reddit.com, it says "provide an email address to reactivate your account". So in my case the purpose of the ban was simply to force me to give them my email address, which I declined to do.
On mobile you can use RedReader. When reddit revoked access to its API, it made an exception for RedReader, because that app supports certain accessibility features which are "not yet" (i.e. never will be) supported by the official reddit app. So if you still want to access reddit on mobile, use RedReader, it has no ads and is much less irritating than the official reddit app.
I joined lemmy just over a year ago when reddit killed its API. I hoped that my favorite subreddit would come here too but it didn't so I wandered back to reddit. I was clinging to old.reddit.com and would probably have stayed around for as long as that lasted. But recently they began requiring email addresses. That was too much and here I am.

Yes, it was orcas, and that's exactly what's going to happen.
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.
