      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.
