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.

So one of the big reasons I still want to be able to post on reddit is niche subreddits, and mostly health related stuff.

I've tried this already, made an acc with vpn from a friend's house. Still it was shadow banned within a couple hours, only worked out I was banned again after manually trying to view that profile on a browser.

When I can afford a burner phone I'll try again. Use a new Gmail account new sim. But my concern is won't reddit just realise it's me because of the subreddits I view and the way I type?
