Soooo. I was banned for telling a extreme right wing dickhead that he was an asshole. Yeah I shouldn’t have but whatever. (yes I’ve appealed it and failed)
Now all my sub accounts are also banned.
Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)
I read it’s just IP based but my flat has 3 others that use reddit daily and they are fine so surely it’s device ID and email linked to device. Etc
Sorry to ask here guys but it’s wracking my brain.
Yeah I got on the other day on my 2ndary account. It’s banned now too.
I literally haven’t commented about anything with it except a game walk through.
First account banned for listing maga trolls who sent me death threats for banning them from my small city sub.
Reddit says it was doxing. Not sure how.
Anyway. On reddit info it says it uses IP , screen resolution, and device numbers.
So I change my IP all the time
And I recently moved and at the same time got a new PC cause my old one died.
So I was using this 2ndary account on new IP, new PC, new city.
And some how they still flagged it.
So that means something else is going on.
Use an anti-fingerprinting browser like Cromite:

And yes, new email. Maybe sign up via your cellular data (but only tethered or with a mobile browser like Cromite).
Personally I have just stayed off Reddit now.
Don’t use email verification. Simply click skip when creating an account (they hid it in the corner)
Also VPN
So one of the big reasons I still want to be able to post on reddit is niche subreddits, and mostly health related stuff.
I’ve tried this already, made an acc with vpn from a friend’s house. Still it was shadow banned within a couple hours, only worked out I was banned again after manually trying to view that profile on a browser.
When I can afford a burner phone I’ll try again. Use a new Gmail account new sim. But my concern is won’t reddit just realise it’s me because of the subreddits I view and the way I type?
There are sites you can use for phone verification. Open online phone numbers to use.
Your device has an ID, and there are various other metrics that they can use
A demonstration:

How does tracking technology follow your trail around the web, even if you’ve taken protective measures? Cover Your Tracks shows you how trackers see your browser. It provides you with an overview of your browser’s most unique and identifying characteristics.

Not easily. If Reddit isn’t getting enough data from you, and they can’t figure out who you are, they will often just ban you again
How are they differentiating me from my flatmates if it’s not IP based - bar my device and email? Is it as far as how I talk? The things I’m interested in? Sheesh. Was the only form of social media I indulged in.
Edit: don’t get me wrong but hell if I still get banned after a new phone new email. Etc then eh I guess I’ll just accept it.
It’s possible that their accounts were grandfathered in and already marked as “different people”. During the next little while (the exact period is unknown, but let’s say 6 months), any new accounts from that IP may get banned, but especially those that are deemed “suspicious”.
We don’t know the exact details because Reddit doesn’t release the details. You might find someone here who can tell you about workarounds, but most likely you’ll get the advice to move on and find something new. Most people are here because they no longer want to use Reddit, and I’d say the vast majority is here because they chose to leave and not because of bans
Legit that’s all. Last suspension was for the same thing. Never threatened anyone just eh I don’t agree with your opinion type shit.
The subreddit that got me banned was very right wing so I guess it’s my fault. But damn if that isn’t censorship then what is.
Damn bro even with those comments I wouldn’t ban you?
Well my plan was new device, email, phone number. Only use that device if I’m on reddit.
Don’t follow the same subreddits and just try shut my mouth (isn’t the point of reddit is to share your opinion? Good or bad?)
Damn didn’t realise just how much of a data scraping fiend reddit is. Such a shame. Used to be a good site for freedom of speech!
Ah I’m confused I hate every other sm platform. Yes buying a new device is stupid but if I can evade the ban then this feeling of being silenced can go away,
It’s bloody weird how I feel right now but I hate it lol. Legit feel like I’m in a room full of people and I just can’t talk…
I’ve legit thought fk it ill pay someone to make an acc and post a bit then go from there.
But feels a bit extreme tbh.
Tldr: it’s not known how they track you. But chances are I’d pretty in depth
Sigh so I guess it’s goodbye to reddit? I will try the new phone new fingerprint stuff but damn. Have to say it… Fuck Spez. Man that account was 10yrs old. Now I feel like I have a sock stuffed in my mouth if that makes sense.
I know. It’s. Rough at first cause of hobby subs. But it’s lost bro. It’s all lost.
I was banned because I tried to comfort a trans person because of their critical boss. Someone misinterpreted my statement as anti-trans. Reddit sucks so hard.
Omgoshhh see? Yall try be good but no. I read r/Aoeteroa was going to ban me but I didn’t listen and yeah. Like their mods are right wing tards that will ban you just for the hell of it.
So dumb. Insta and Fb are cespools full of boomers. It seems im either doing short form content every other day (I’m not doing that sorry fk me) or reddit. Or lemmy. Issue with lemmy is the sheer lack of users. I’ve been a lurker since the API charges shit with reddit 3yr ago.
It’s just feeling empty.
And now I’m seemingly perma banned from reddit im feeling hopeless
My curiosity is - how are both my flatmates using reddit same IP.
Obv different mac address and device /imei ID. But I’ve tried that. Made an acc at my partners house so diff IP. Using her nannas laptop.
Once I logged in on my phone at a maccas no less with a vpn I was banned.
I’m gonna spoof my device ID with a custom android rom and try again.
Will be buying a new phone in a couple weeks to try my other plan. But fk me man.
To the fella saying fk reddit yeah I get that. Just the only social media platform that I cared about is all.
Feeling kinda empty and silenced is all.
