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.

      reddit probably has the most oppressive moderation, and the aggressive one compared to the other social media platforms.

      I hate it too. I managed to get around it, but apparently they’ve gotten better.

      Tbh, if Lemmy wasn’t so small, shitty and had the niche communities, I wouldn’t use reddit. But reddit does have those niche communities, so I’m stuck.

        yeah I already rent a vps so I might throw a browser on there and use a browser over the browser if I need it, I kind of prefer not commenting/posting now tho
