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.

          this ain’t it chief, blaming ellen pao for reddit’s downfall is insanely clueless.

          she got glass cliff’d on a confluence of issues on the platform, none of which were because of her. if you want to point the finger at anyone, point it at spez.

          its mostly spez, whom later caved to muk’s demand that is doing this. i dont think she had much of an effect in the early days.

          its only when trump became president in his first term, then reddit became super serious in banning people. because the amount of russian back troll bots were starting to appear in large numbers, and then we got oh so you dont like “conservatives” type of people.

        I think many mods on Reddit don’t understand English well and are too lazy to read carefully. They just ban anyone with posts or comments containing some keywords. My comment is only a quote of another person and I asked if it is the reason Op is banned.
