From what I understand there isn’t an easy way to do that. Just make a new account is the easy solution. (Even easier, just don’t bother having an account)
Q2: It’s possible but doubtful that you’ll get an account unbanned. No idea how they do it (haven’t bothered to look) but bans seem to track across IP and device. Making a new account on the same device after moving across states, my new accounts would still be banned for evasion within a few days. Couple that with the fact that most subs have karma and age minimum requirements and I just gave up after a while
Yes, thanks to moderators who abuse the system, and lazy admins who don’t hold them to account.
Reddit uses fingerprinting techniques to track you across accounts. You need to look into defeating these tactics in order to successfully register (and keep) a new account.
Change browser, block html canvas, change IP address, etc. Also time plays a factor. Leave it a couple of weeks.
Or, recognise that Reddit has become completely overrun with shitposting bots and has little in the way of interesting content to offer these days, and move on.
Everytime you connect to a web page and make an HTML/CSS request your browser sends information about your computer as a way to optimize the webpage (screen size, resolution, operating system, JavaScript settings, IP, internet connection, and many more attributes). This information put together essentially forms a fingerprint that is unique to you. It can be saved and used to track you across multiple web pages without having to use cookies or other more invasive tracking methods. It’s like a digital form of facial recognition.
Here is a webpage that helps you determine how unique is your fingerprint (and therefore how identifiable):

If this is true, they’re doing a terrible job at it. For my sins, I help moderate a small sub for the city I live in. I’m 99% sure there are one or two right wing assholes with multiple accounts but I can’t prove it.
Yes, twice. Both for inane shite. Once for quoting a line from a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross) which contained a slur, and on my new account for making a joke about a guy who happened to be Indian and was in no way racist. My pleas fell on deaf ears. I can’t say this strongly enough - fuck Reddit, it’s a shit hole, full of bots and power-hungry mods. Stay away. Here is better.
Me. Also no. I made r/Artisanvideos, turned it into a thriving community, and got sacked for a tongue in cheek comment. I get the impression that Reddit’s admins specifically pound the pavement to remove people from their successful work and take it for themselves.
Tbh, it’s really nice to not have to obsess over that anymore.
It was kind of spur of the moment to make it. I saw a need and made it happen! I don’t generally try to do that, but after it started actually growing I got obsessed and defensive about it. I can’t tell you how crazy agitated I got about spammers, advertisers, pluggers, and bots. I regularly told people off. It was always “quit your bullshit, don’t even try to act like you’re not here for the giant audience visibility on our relatively low post count” and people would call me a tyrant because I shut the door on them trying to abuse it. I’m literally the reason r/subredditdrama was born. I don’t want any of that anymore and I lucked out having found a good guy to leave in charge a good few months before I was banned. It’s so hard to find the right guy who’s not just clamoring for power.
Not if you use any af the same email accounts or accounts linked to accounts. I don’t suggest evading an overzealous temp bad by creating the user all_aita_mods_are_incels they took it hard.
I was on reddit since 2014. Got perma banned a few months ago. Essentially I argued with the nazi mods and they booted me. Whitepeople Twitter is a cesspool of an echo chamber. I took the perma ban happily and permanently switched to lemmy, much happier here. Fuck reddit and the nazi mods just leave and don’t look back
I got permabanned for some eat the rich comment. I made a new account with my same google account and they didn’t care. But who cares, walled gardens suck.
Only way I’ve found is to make a new email account and use a VPN every time. I miss r/politics and a few other subs sometimes but I don’t find it worth the effort. Lemmy has less traffic than Reddit but it also has less bots and dickhead mods. There’s been a huge influx of Russian trolls and MAGA tools on Reddit who like to get people banned.
I got permabanned. They IP ban you so there isn’t really a way to get back. One way was if you got banned on your computer, you could make a new account on your phone and be fine. A vpn is also possible but the free vpns suck and paying to get back to Reddit is dumb.
