Soooo. I was banned for telling a extreme right wing dickhead that he was an asshole. Yeah I shouldn’t have but whatever. (yes I’ve appealed it and failed)
Now all my sub accounts are also banned.
Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)
I read it’s just IP based but my flat has 3 others that use reddit daily and they are fine so surely it’s device ID and email linked to device. Etc
Sorry to ask here guys but it’s wracking my brain.
Alts used to be encouraged, why I even made them, plus my username was my fullrealname lol, wanted to stop using that. Its wild how they could instantly detect my comment and permaban all accounts within a second, which means they could’ve just prevented me from seeing the sub I was bannee from or commenting in the first place, instead they use it to perma ban. It’s like a trap that only works if mods arent banhappy, ppl also have to remember what subs banned them and notice they were banned. Also assumes ppl arent using alts and the only reason they use them is to avoid subreddit bans.
The whole model is just absolutely stupid. I mean, I get how it was what Aaron and Spez came up with back 20 years ago, but the fact that nobody bothered to make anything fundamentally better at any point since then is just fuckin’ weird.
