I made a post previously about this issue but I wanted to do an update of sorts and see if there is anything new I can do.
Basically about a month ago I got banned off the platform. I do not know why, and they never gave me a reason, no matter how many times I contacted Reddit support, and all appeals were rejected. I can only assume that someone in my apartment got banned and it picked me up too since we share an IP or something. I have since made a few dozen accounts in attempt to dodge this ban and nothing works.
I have gone as far as booting up an old laptop which I haven’t used in 3 years, downloading a virtual machine and running Xubuntu through it, connecting to a VPN on both the laptop and the virtual machine, opening up Reddit in Firefox’s incognito mode, making a new account through a Tempmail email, and waiting 2 days before commenting on a post to make sure I didn’t get flagged as a bot.
Lo and behold, the second I posted that comment, my avatar in the top right disappeared, the page kept telling me I had a server error, and when I looked at my account in another browser, at had told me it had been suspended.
Quite honestly I can’t think of a single other thing I could do. Even after all of those steps taken, Reddit was instantaneously able to track me right back to my other accounts. Is there literally anything I can possibly do to ever post on this platform again?
For mobile:
Use a VPN (different from the one if currently using)
Get a new phone
Switch from Google to Apple or vice versa (all accounts)
Write and post in a different writing style
Visit very few of the same subs from previous accounts
Get a new ISP
Most Americans don’t get to choose their ISP.
It’s hit or miss based on location
I’m surprised that nowadays we have a choice of several in our small-ish midwestern town
Ok so in other words it would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars
Yes. Spend money and stop interacting with reddit like yourself, forever.
…or, just let it go and move on with your life
