I was permabanned a while ago due to support of my boy Luigi for “inciting violence”.

Whatever. I tried getting around it the traditional ways (making new accounts with temporary emails, using VPNs) but was having no luck. They had beefed up the way they do permabans.

My question is: has anyone found a way to get around a permaban on reddit that works in 2025 without being silently banned? I’d need specific details. I’m hoping to access on iOS also but if it needs to be on PC that’s fine too.

I’m not going to appeal my ban since I don’t believe I did anything wrong but I do want to stick it to them by getting around their ban. Besides there are some communities I need to be able to ask questions in.

    Yeah I’ve been trying to. I haven’t been on it for nearly half a year at this point. I’m fine with using Lemmy but there are some things Lemmy isn’t great at like having thriving communities I can direct questions about personal finance to and getting a wide variety of opinions. Or even pottery discussion. Lemmy is almost only about politics, Linux, and Star Trek memes. Not much more than that.

    I actually think Lemmy has started to die off more since I’ve been here. I’m guessing I was part of some large migration when I started but now most of those people have stopped coming on several months later.

      idk why you’re getting downvoted, I frequent less and less because it feels dead, just look at active daily and most stuff has way less comments and upvotes than a few months ago, think lemm.ee leaving could have had an impact, I almost didn’t make a new account because in the back of my head I see the same thinkg happening to any instance that becomes popular.

        lemmy trends very anti-reddit and in general is very strict about the kinds of views you are allowed to have here. the idea of wanting to go back to reddit is a very big no-no here.

        i generally mesh well with about 80% of lemmy ideology but if I ever speak out about that 20% I tend to get downvoted to oblivion
