How do I dodge a permaban?
How do I dodge a permaban?
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.
I was in the same boat and it wasn't even my fault. Someone else was banned and I quoted what was banned. I asked people if that's the reason for the ban . Then, the next day I was banned.
I appealed and there was no answer. I am so tired of it.
I don't understand why they ban with such insane scrutiny. There are people on major platforms like YouTube that continue to make money even after dodging bans, and yet Reddit seemingly has like the most heavily enforced ban system on the internet for a website that is literally for shitposting and asking for advice.
i believe only some resetting the routers only works with some of the isps, some reuses the same ones so thats why reddit can detect that. also sometimes your ip wont change if you rest it.
this is the basic detection. reddit also looks for similar writing style, posting behaviour, your activity on the site, and using vcaptcha v3 to monitor your movements. browser fingerprintg is another one they use too.
i havnt bother making a new account after i got shadowbanned, it wasnt worth it, since they are likely to ban you instantly.
the only way is using a new device, and a new IP address, and not ever connecting to your home browsers, computer or wifi ever.
then theres the more expensive methods, proxies, anti-detect browsers new devices.
A certain CEO took over and clamped down. Before she quit, she changed Reddit, making it never the same.
Just give it up, she ain't coming back
It's just a shuffling zombie now.
You're already on Lemmy, just help build this to be what you are missing on Reddit.
This is the right answer
Making the account on Duckduckgo which has encrypted connections
if you mean the DuckDuckGo browser, then it doesn't do anything other browsers don't do by default to hide your identity. you're still showing up as using the same IP address as when using other browsers.
when i suddenly switched to a fork of ff they got suspicious and suspended my account immediately, and then they shadowbanned it. they apparently care about sudden browser changes.
Why do you even want to? Reddit is going the way of Yahoo Answers.
Accept that they’re just not into you and move on. You make it sound like you’re somehow entitled to using their service and they have made it clear they don’t want you there.
If you do something as egregious on Lemmy and get banned you have the luxury of joining a different instance bingo, bongo.
Making the account on a very old device (which has never logged into Reddit before)
Did you continue using your account only on that device? If so, did you continue using reddit logged-out on your main device at the same time?
its probably the IP address, resetting might not work, since some isp may just reissue the same IP address even if you reset it, or just rotate to the overused IP of other people in your area. you can change ISP but that could cost money though, or ask your isp providers to change, but they will get extremely suspicious if you ask it.
