News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

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 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



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.

Lmao… dude kept getting banned for ban evasion. You can’t just keep making new accords.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

that’s exactly what i used to do. mods power trip? new acct. that whole hydrohomies thing and the spez “editing the db” thing got me a ton of bans when i kept shitting on the mods.

i’d do it here too.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They hardware ban now. I can’t make an account without it being insta-banned. And I have a VPN.

reddit doesnt have ring 0 so probably not a hw ban

maybe browser based?

  • Account Bans: Suspensions or permanent bans applied directly to a specific user profile (either site-wide by Reddit admins or subreddit-specific by moderators). [1]
  • IP Bans: Blocking a user's internet protocol (IP) address to stop them from browsing or posting from that network. [1, 2]
  • Ban Evasion & Device Tracking: Reddit uses multiple signals—including tracking cookies, browser fingerprinting, app identifiers, and behavioral patterns—to detect when a banned user tries to spin up a fresh account. While mobile apps can read basic device telemetry, this does not function as a true low-level hardware component (motherboard/CPU/GPU) ban seen in online multiplayer video games. [1, 2, 3]

Whatever it is, they get me moments after I create an account.

[–] cinoreus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Exactly. I've been there. Though I'm surprised creating account from mobile got him perma banned. I've had a reddit account that's actively evading a ban, is now few years old, and yet haven't faced a re-ban.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I had accidentally posted to a sub I was banned from from an alt and now I cannot create a new account anymore. They catch it before I can even read a post.

[–] cinoreus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Reddit's ban hammer is a powerful one. I was only able to create an account when I got a new phone. And that too I had to use a new email address, and never ever log into my laptop with this same account, unless I've switched to Linux.

If you can live with the fact you have to use a different OS on your pc if you want to login, or if you are okay with waiting till you buy a new phone, then you can evade reddit ban. Then again, never log into your old accounts, especially right now when ban is fresh.

Look, honestly, I don't think it's worth it. Especially with the current state of reddit. I myself barely log into reddit these days. And if all you do is lurk, you can already do it.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh it’s not work it at all. I’ve blocked all of Reddit from my browser. It won’t even fetch links related to searches.

They won’t have me, I won’t have them.

[–] uten151@thelemmy.club 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just did this 5 minutes ago (date/time stamp: 08-Oct-2026 10:01:30)! I blocked www.reddit.com from my firewall's url filter.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 2 points 6 days ago

I’m on iOS. I just use uBlacklist.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Okay. Well…. I can’t. Even with a VPN. I think they hardware ban.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

spoof hwid

not that i recommend it unless you know what you are doing

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don’t even know what that means.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe -1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)
[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’m on iOS so I wouldn’t be able to do that anyway.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 days ago

process is different but sure you would
