Finally in the truly permabanned club.
They have some type of ban detection. I use a VPN and bounce between logging into my different accounts.
Not for ban evasion but for doxxing, I don’t post personal info on my politics account, my hobby accounts are pretty open, etc.
I pissed off somebody and the sub reddit banned me. I go thru and filter that sub out of my accounts. Didnt think about other people using my wifi.
Buddy comes over and posts a single post in that sub. His account and ALL of my accounts are now permabanned.
The reason I know is they AI mod replied then deleted a post about ban evasion to him, so he knew the comment he made on what sub and we pieced it together.
The rest of the msgs I got from reddit made no sense as I didn’t post in the sub and until he mentioned the reply it all came together.
I would like to know how they are tracking me as I use a VPN. Kinda makes it useless if it doesn’t work as advertised. I put an appeal in, we know how thats going to go…
Updates to follow, not that I’m likely to stay on there. Maybe for my hobby subs.
It will take a minute, I need to get some fresh PC from my old job. Then I need to build a proper test environment I don’t self sabotage by accident.
Also the digital finger print stuff, idk even know where to start.
Take your time, no rush.
VM or a different machine should already eliminate device fingerprint and as long as you don’t log in with any of your existing accounts to the new machines browser. Then there’s no history or cookies to carry over either. Obviously avoiding local network as well or at least masking it. At that point from Reddit perspective, you are just like a brand new person joining.
