That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Please tell me more about the daily new account strategy. I’ve been permabanned (my email address and IP address) for unintentionally accessing a subreddit with one account that another account had been temporarily banned from.
With a brand new account, I figure you are automatically shadowbanned or at least in most subreddits. Also, aren’t there quite a few subreddits who simply don’t let you participate until your Reddit quality score is high enough?
All I can do is outline what I do every day. This same process used to work to create a profile that wasn't banned until I inevitably said some questionable stuff, typically to dipshit Trump supporters. So sometimes these accounts would last months. I think they've made some changes to tighten their grip on new accounts recently cuz I'm getting regularly shadowbanned after somewhere between 24-48 hours. Not temp or perma banned. Shadowbanned. Which you'll know when you try to post and it says "you're doing that too much, try again later", or by going to the 3rd party Reddit Shadowban Tester site, or by just going to the Reddit appeal page and if you can submit an appeal, you've been banned or shadowbanned.
I use Brave browser for Reddit. I know a lot of Lemmy users have problems with it. I don't care. I only use it in Incognito/Private mode.
I go into Brave browser settings and clear all data. All cookies. All of it. Reset it to factory default.
I open Brave back up and open a private window. I create a new throwaway email account on Outlook.
Go to Reddit. Create a new account. I make sure to create a username instead of using one of the auto-generated ones. I avoid words like platform, site, Reddit. I think they might have a method for looking for shit talking names like "Reddit_Sucks" or "This_Platform_Is_Trash". I use a different password every time in case they have a method for banning accounts with passwords that have been used before. That would be dumb though cuz with that many users I'm sure a lot of accounts have the same or very similar passwords.
That's it. I just spend like 3 minutes creating a new account every morning. I comment and get interaction throughout the day. Then the next day, or following day at latest, I discover I'm shadowbanned and start the process over again. I wouldn't bother doing this if I wasn't stuck at work. If I was anywhere else I'd find something better to do with my time than circumvent a trash platform.
I used to use a browser script to automatically re-add all my subs to a new Reddit account, but I had to set the script to only add one every 5 seconds, because if you did less it would detect you were adding too many subs too quickly and assume you're a bot and ban the account. But now, with whatever new methods they're using to shadowban me every day or two, I just gave up on the subs. Too much effort for a day or two. My subs were the only thing that really kept me caring about Reddit. So if they manage to restrict things even further and it gets harder for me to interact on the platform, I think I'll be ready to finally just give it up. Reddit isn't dying anytime soon, but it's definitely on a downward trajectory. It'll go the way of the dinosaur eventually.
Edit: Yeah, there are subs that don't let you contribute if your account is too new, but they're kind of few and far between. Doesn't really affect me that much.
the only way to go is new device,ip. once they ban you they will know which ip,browsers, and device was used to evade the bans. there is amore complicated way of doing this, but it will cost you and only meant for people who spamming ads and traffic to thier own businesses.
