12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

    You need to delete all of your content ASAP because 12 year account can be 100% tied back to you. Everything you said and all of your history data might as well be public on the web with your name right now so you should keep that in mind.

    Its laughably easy to tie accounts to identities these days with machine learning tools and 12 years of data is a lot.

        not sure I follow? Your new account gets banned? You need to create it on a new ip and clear browser data. The easiest way to do that:

        1. Clear your browser data for the page entirely (best to make a new browser profile).
        2. Use celular hotspot for mobile network IP. These are highest value IPs as they are residential and shared between a pool of people. Very difficult to fingerprint.
        3. Create account with an email and details you have not used before.
        4. Use that setup for a while then switch to a VPN.

        This is a very effective anti-fingerprint strategy that will get you over 99% of fingerprint systems and allow you to make as many accounts whenever you want.
