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.
Embrace the ban. Never look back.
I was banned from a 14yr account for “unusual activity” - the unusual activity was logging in on a browser to get my list of subs to transfer here. Zero interest in circumventing the ban, fuck Reddit
If Lemmy could up its porn game, reddit would just be bots saying catchy things to each other.
Based, now stop wasting your life on that psyop ass website.
If you really wanted to though, you’d have to look up how to change your IP or mask it. But if the account is banned, then they can just lock you out anyway.
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.
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?
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.
Well if you guys are using the same modem then you all have the same outgoing ip address. Essentially, if they ip ban you, you can unplug and replug the modem and get issued a different (external) ip addressI read your question wrong, sorry.
Reddit finds VPNs very sus so a lot of people have had issued with accessing reddit with VPN.
If you feel drowned out a silenced, post something on Lemmy. Any community you want, go ahead and we’ll join, promote, contribute to it best we can. If you did this same post on reddit, chances are you’ll be downvoted and ignored or no response and ignored
This is probably a stupid question, but if your browser accepts cookies, wouldn’t they simply track you through those regardless of account or VPN? Same with app data.
