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?
How do you get banned from Reddit? I know mods can ban from their subreddits, but getting banned from the entire site?
I can think of two things;
- Cheering on things such as murder, harming people/ animals
- Karma manipulation
I feel like the ugly girl being asked for tips to get with the pretty girl
Congratulations! Reddit is mostly terrible.
If you want to participate in some niche communities I can understand wanting a new account. Most likely they’re tracing you through these things, with the first ones being more likely:
-
Email address (hopefully you’re using different ones but this is an easy way for them to associate accounts).
-
IP address.
-
Browser or phone fingerprinting.
For your IP address you can just try to get a new one. Sometimes restarting your modem will do that. Ask Google what your IP address is before and after.
For browser fingerprinting, I’d just clear the cache and that’s probably enough. Alternatively just use a different browser for Reddit for a while.
For app fingerprinting that’s a bit harder and I’d say to just not use the official Reddit app if that’s what you were doing before.
The same happened to me lol
Lemmy welcomes you with open arms.
