A couple months ago my account was permabanned (was not provided a reason) from the site and I have since been trying to make a new one. The problem is though that every single time I make a new account, it is either instantly suspended or suspended a couple hours later. So far I have tried: -Unplugging my router for a few minutes to change my IP -Clearing all of my cookies -Making the account on a very old device (which has never logged into Reddit before) -Using a brand new email -Making the account on Duckduckgo which has encrypted connections
Mind you, I did all of these together, at the same time, and Reddit still was able to instantly link my account to it. Is there a single thing I can possibly do to avoid this ban and make a new account? It seems like Reddit has like CIA-level technology that is somehow able to track me regardless of how many ludicrous holes I try to jump through.
They shouldn’t. They also check against user agents, browser extensions, and view window size, and probably a bunch of other identifing marks. Maybe it’s picking up on those?
they also look at your IP and time zone, and location too.
Its funny how much redditors care about privacy til its reddit tracking your identity through hella different ways
reddit probably has the most oppressive moderation, and the aggressive one compared to the other social media platforms.
I hate it too. I managed to get around it, but apparently they’ve gotten better.
Tbh, if Lemmy wasn’t so small, shitty and had the niche communities, I wouldn’t use reddit. But reddit does have those niche communities, so I’m stuck.
yeah I already rent a vps so I might throw a browser on there and use a browser over the browser if I need it, I kind of prefer not commenting/posting now tho
