News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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.

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.

do you use app? it sends unique phone id I think. stop using reddit app.

then - change ip, clear all browser - create new account

[–] Kayra@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] danio13@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Banned or does it keep saying "server error?"

[–] Kayra@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds like you should stop writing things on Reddit.

[–] Kayra@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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?

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Kayra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Pfeffy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am creating a disposable random email address.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You dont need to i dont think tho

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
