A few months ago I was unnecessarily banned on my reddit account first, but then even if I use different computers and a different Internet, it somehow realizes that it’s me and bans me. When I open my account, there is no problem, but as soon as I write something, it is banned.

        Say you’re at a party, and the home owner asks you to leave. You are no longer welcome in their home. If you continue to try to sneak in through back doors and open windows, do you REALLY think that’s going to come across as dedication, or trespassing, harassment and stalking?

        Give it up. They don’t want you, why do you insist on crashing a party you aren’t invited to?

          Because at that party you wouldn’t be downvoted for asking a simple question by people with a morality stick up their arse.

            They got kicked out of that party for a reason. Now they’ve gone to someone else’s party asking how to sneak into the party they got kicked out of.

            And here you are, complaining about our party, but not the party that keeps kicking people out.

          I guess you’re right, there was a discussion there that interested me and I wanted to respond to it.

        I think the general sentiment they’re trying to convey is to just stop using reddit.

        I think you’ll find many people on Lemmy who agree with them

    I managed to get round a permaban by:

    • Getting mullvad VPN
    • installing mullvad browser.
    • setting it up such that this browser is the only thing that routes through mullvad (everything else on my system goes through Nord). For regular browsing I use Firefox and Nord.
    • creating a free proton mail account within this browser (unfortunately I had to verify it with a real email :( but proton do say it’s just for verification)
    • sign up to Reddit.
    • all I use mullvad for is this browser and my IPTV streams all paid for with bitcoin

      I’ll try, thank u, but it’s very interesting that they recognize me even on a different device.

        Google literally spits out a full explanation of how this works if you bother to ask it.

        I’m no expert but I assume advertisers (or someone) has a fingerprint of you for each browser, so like if you log into your Google account on your mobile browser, you’re obviously the same person who logs into that YouTube account on your desktop browser.
