How does reddit track you? (lemmy.ml)

Soooo. I was banned for telling a extreme right wing dickhead that he was an asshole. Yeah I shouldn't have but whatever. (yes I've appealed it and failed)

Now all my sub accounts are also banned.

Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)

I read it's just IP based but my flat has 3 others that use reddit daily and they are fine so surely it's device ID and email linked to device. Etc

Sorry to ask here guys but it's wracking my brain.

My curiosity is - how are both my flatmates using reddit same IP.

Obv different mac address and device /imei ID. But I've tried that. Made an acc at my partners house so diff IP. Using her nannas laptop.

Once I logged in on my phone at a maccas no less with a vpn I was banned.

I'm gonna spoof my device ID with a custom android rom and try again.

Will be buying a new phone in a couple weeks to try my other plan. But fk me man.

To the fella saying fk reddit yeah I get that. Just the only social media platform that I cared about is all.

Feeling kinda empty and silenced is all.

~~Well if you guys are using the same modem then you all have the same outgoing ip address. Essentially, if they ip ban you, you can unplug and replug the modem and get issued a different (external) ip address~~

I read your question wrong, sorry.

Reddit finds VPNs very sus so a lot of people have had issued with accessing reddit with VPN.

If you feel drowned out a silenced, post something on Lemmy. Any community you want, go ahead and we'll join, promote, contribute to it best we can. If you did this same post on reddit, chances are you'll be downvoted and ignored or no response and ignored
