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.

One thing they do is track what subs you subscribe to. So if a new account is created and subscribes to all the same communities as a banned account, they can fingerprint you that way.
They can also fingerprint you based on what browser and OS you use. Not just cookies. When you connect to websites there is info shared about you that goes beyond cookies.
Just because you got a new IP from your ISP doesn't mean that they don't share data about you with reddit, especially if reddit asks for info from your ISP. You don't know what info your ISP shares about you. Maybe your ISP has some kind of an EULA but I don't know.
If you really wanted to focus on bypassing IP ban and are willing to go to any effort, install something like Oracle Virtualbox, create a VM with a fresh install of windows, install a decentralized VPN in that virtual machine (Mysterium VPN is an example) because most VPN's have fixed exit nodes that will be banned by reddit. A decentralized VPN allows any user on the VPN to act as an exit node, so Mysterium has literally thousands of exit nodes that change every day. It's impossible to ban them all.
Then after connecting your VM to a decentralized VPN, you would want to use a different browser every time you sign up for reddit, and use a different email address every time. Then never subscribe to the same communities every time you sign up a new account.
And even then, they can use AI to scan comments and detect similarities between you and other accounts based on how you type.
At some point you have to ask, is it really worth it? They're going to an absurd length to ban people. I want a community where I can be me. I believe in free speech. I want to be free to shitpost. Saying something rude shouldn't result in automatic permaban.
