    Sounds like Reddit wants you to just use Lemmy instead :)

    use a vpn. you’ve been IP-banned, which is how they track you. also, clear your cookies, as they can track you that way, too.

        Note that a lot of free VPNs are easily identifiable and blacklisted by a lot of websites. Hell, even some paid ones have blacklisted IPs sometimes.

      They can even track you with browser fingerprints these days, and that is quite hard to prevent

    Haha don’t bother, and I don’t think it’s the mods who are doing it. Pretty sure it’s an automated process. With millions of users and a constant stream of bots and banned users trying to circumvent the rules, I doubt anyone has time to do it manually.

        I would try the following. Call your ISP and ask them to change your IP address, use a new, different browser that has no cookies or cache or whatever, and then make the new account. That worked for me. If you wanna get really paranoid about it maybe also look into spoofing your m.a.c. address. If that fails then I can’t even imagine how they would be flagging the new accounts

          Browser fingerprinting is a thing (identifying someone by their browser’s configuration and fonts, amongst other things), but I don’t see them using that for bans honestly.
