Reddit keeps banning my new accounts, but how does it understand?

A few months ago I was unnecessarily banned on my reddit account first, but then even if I use different computers and a different Internet, it somehow realizes that it's me and bans me. When I open my account, there is no problem, but as soon as I write something, it is banned.

Sounds like you should stop writing things on Reddit.

If you get banned unnecessarily, wouldn't that be giving up?

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 143d (6 replies)

Say you're at a party, and the home owner asks you to leave. You are no longer welcome in their home. If you continue to try to sneak in through back doors and open windows, do you REALLY think that's going to come across as dedication, or trespassing, harassment and stalking?

Give it up. They don't want you, why do you insist on crashing a party you aren't invited to?

Because at that party you wouldn't be downvoted for asking a simple question by people with a morality stick up their arse.

They got kicked out of that party for a reason. Now they've gone to someone else's party asking how to sneak into the party they got kicked out of.

And here you are, complaining about our party, but not the party that keeps kicking people out.

I mean, it is reddit in 2026, they could've been banned because of many reasons, false flagged, IP ban mistakenly, AI blunder, toxic brigade reporting, you name it.

Reddit isn't what it used to be. My main account is fine, yet if I make any alt it gets instant banned for spam, think about that.

(And yes I checked if shadowbanned, not).

Saying that Reddit is a shitty, unpredictable platform isn't really a great argument to keep going back.

King@literature.cafe · 1 pts · 133d

Only thing I got back for now is a specific subreddit that frankly is an anomaly even on reddit. Outside that, I am moving here for a reason.

Kayra@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 143d

I guess you're right, there was a discussion there that interested me and I wanted to respond to it.

I think the general sentiment they're trying to convey is to just stop using reddit.

I think you'll find many people on Lemmy who agree with them

Its a sitewise IP ban. I was banned too, so that's why i came here. Reddit hypocrisy is somewhat insane. Someone can plan acts of terrorism, which is totally fine by Reddit standards but they will ban you for a funny gif or a meme

you need a new device and a new wifi with a new location and a new email account, then maybe it may work.

I got banned for vote manipulation ( i have helt anxiety and upvoted my question on askdoc sub )

magnue@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 143d (8 replies)

I managed to get round a permaban by:

  • Getting mullvad VPN
  • installing mullvad browser.
  • setting it up such that this browser is the only thing that routes through mullvad (everything else on my system goes through Nord). For regular browsing I use Firefox and Nord.
  • creating a free proton mail account within this browser (unfortunately I had to verify it with a real email :( but proton do say it's just for verification)
  • sign up to Reddit.
  • all I use mullvad for is this browser and my IPTV streams all paid for with bitcoin

I'll try, thank u, but it's very interesting that they recognize me even on a different device.

magnue@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 143d

I'm no expert but I assume advertisers (or someone) has a fingerprint of you for each browser, so like if you log into your Google account on your mobile browser, you're obviously the same person who logs into that YouTube account on your desktop browser.

Are you givinng them an email? Cuz i think you dont have to, there is a reall shitty dark pattern set up to make you think you have to give that up but you dont

Kayra@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 143d (3 replies)

I am creating a disposable random email address.

cheese_greater@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 143d (2 replies)

You dont need to i dont think tho

Kayra@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 143d (1 reply)

How?

cheese_greater@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 143d

Watch a tutorial about how to sign up without email in 2026 reddit. If not, you might need a different provider or change your naming scheme for the fake emails

Google literally spits out a full explanation of how this works if you bother to ask it.

danio13@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 142d (1 reply)

Banned or does it keep saying "server error?"

Kayra@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 142d

Server error and what I wrote does not appear. This means shadow ban.

I only use a PC. I don't even log in from the old computer but it still recognizes me.
