I used mullvad browser and mullvad VPN. Both of which I have never used previously. Through this I then created a proton mail account with a username I have never used. Signed up to Reddit with that. There is no link there.
It's possible they banned me just because doing that in itself was just too shady but I'm not sure. Next I'll try buying a karma'd account.
Probably just banned because vpn, especially proton. I can't count the sited I can't visit anymore because of VPN. Even steam asks me questions like WHY am I signing in "like that"...
I'd try another VPN and/or just another fresh browser. One you'd never use anyway. Just to see where's the culprit.
Maybe I'll try some kind of proxy. I have to use something because I'm IP banned for sure.
