Hi. So, all my accounts got banned from reddit. Including my new one that had nothing to do with the reason I got banned, but apparently they thought I was evading the fucking ban by making a new account! So, do I spend countless hours scouring the internet looking for an alternative to reddit, or do I risk it yet again, and make a new account?
You’re cooked. Same thing happened to me. I tried for a few days to see if there was any way around it, but I wasn’t about to get a VPN just to use Reddit. Or get a whole new device.
Pretty sure they have all the IPs that your account has ever connected to, so anything attempting to login from those IPs will also be banned. So that’s what you’ll have to work around, if you want to do it.
I’m no expert though, that’s just what I learned over my couple of days of trying.
+Looks like there’s no need for scouring the internet for an alternative, you’ve already found it.
i guess if more than one person posts from the same ip they can get fucked then
They don’t ban solely by IP. When you’re banned, they note the IPs you use, but because most internet account IPs are not static, they watch what new accounts from the IP do. If they go to the same subreddits as the banned account, it gets the ban hammer.
VPNs aren’t working unfortunately, at least if you’re not logged in. They completely block the site when you’re trying to access reddit via VPN. This is a VPN related forum where this is discussed.
From what I can tell it is IP address + browser fingerprinting. Possibly a little more emphasis on the browser fingerprinting.
