    got a lot of accounts banned for ban evation. I can keep making new ones, create a couple of shitposts and you got enough karma to continue where you left

      It’s hard to make a new account and not get flagged instantly.

      You have to change ip address. Email, even the device you use

      I can’t be bothered anymore so now I just don’t use reddit

            Reddit still fingerprints your device.

            I’m permabanned on reddit. I have a VPN that changes my IP every day or so. If I make a new account on my phone or pc it’s banned within a few hours.

            Until I get a new phone or pc I can’t make an account. It knows the device, not just the IP.

              Idk what you are doing to make that neccessary (and am too afraid to ask)

              I was site banned as well but made a new account a very short time after the ban and have yet to be banned again.

              But it makes sense they are fingerprinting your device somehow to prevent ban-evasion.

              Only way I could see is only visiting the page within a obfuscated/very private OS (like Tails?) or a browser that fully wipes and obfuscates any connection between hardware and browser.

          You needing an entirely new device, like a completely different computer, just takes a whole minute?

          Do you just have spare PC’s laying around your house?

            By new device you mean useragent, cookies and browser fingerprint? I got plenty of those. Or do you think reddit can somehow identify your actual device?
