A couple months ago my account was permabanned (was not provided a reason) from the site and I have since been trying to make a new one. The problem is though that every single time I make a new account, it is either instantly suspended or suspended a couple hours later. So far I have tried: -Unplugging my router for a few minutes to change my IP -Clearing all of my cookies -Making the account on a very old device (which has never logged into Reddit before) -Using a brand new email -Making the account on Duckduckgo which has encrypted connections

Mind you, I did all of these together, at the same time, and Reddit still was able to instantly link my account to it. Is there a single thing I can possibly do to avoid this ban and make a new account? It seems like Reddit has like CIA-level technology that is somehow able to track me regardless of how many ludicrous holes I try to jump through.

    I don’t understand why they ban with such insane scrutiny. There are people on major platforms like YouTube that continue to make money even after dodging bans, and yet Reddit seemingly has like the most heavily enforced ban system on the internet for a website that is literally for shitposting and asking for advice.

      I think many mods on Reddit don’t understand English well and are too lazy to read carefully. They just ban anyone with posts or comments containing some keywords. My comment is only a quote of another person and I asked if it is the reason Op is banned.

      A certain CEO took over and clamped down. Before she quit, she changed Reddit, making it never the same.
