I'm here because I got permanently banned for violence
I said "bad bot" to a nazi.
I doubt they'll ever reinstate the people they've banned. They ban based on IMEI numbers, so it's impossible to make another account unless you get a new device
Are you sure it was IMEI? Unless you were using reddit over sms they shouldn't have access to that. IP addresses on the other hand they do have, and those are network specific.
I'll see if I can wait out an IP ban, apparently those only last around 100 days or so before they dump the data
Does your IP never change? When I had a landline I had a new IP every month.
Absolutely no idea! It's not something I've looked at. I don't have a home internet connection, I don't need one, so I just have my phone
Mobile IPs tend to change very often. You can look up your IP (there are many websites for this), turn airplane mode on and turn it off again. This could assign a different IP (at least it did when I just tried).
Good to know!
I'll lie low for a while. I had a cult following for my "performance art" so I'm not exactly easy to miss when I post one of my creative efforts...
