      Exactly. I’ve been there. Though I’m surprised creating account from mobile got him perma banned. I’ve had a reddit account that’s actively evading a ban, is now few years old, and yet haven’t faced a re-ban.

        I had accidentally posted to a sub I was banned from from an alt and now I cannot create a new account anymore. They catch it before I can even read a post.

          Reddit’s ban hammer is a powerful one. I was only able to create an account when I got a new phone. And that too I had to use a new email address, and never ever log into my laptop with this same account, unless I’ve switched to Linux.

          If you can live with the fact you have to use a different OS on your pc if you want to login, or if you are okay with waiting till you buy a new phone, then you can evade reddit ban. Then again, never log into your old accounts, especially right now when ban is fresh.

          Look, honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it. Especially with the current state of reddit. I myself barely log into reddit these days. And if all you do is lurk, you can already do it.

          A reddit community for making memes about drinking water. If I am remembering correctly it was banned because of the name which sparked protest from community members and caused the creation of numerous other imitation communities. This in turn resulted in cascading series of bans and other nonsense.

        They hardware ban now. I can’t make an account without it being insta-banned. And I have a VPN.

          • Account Bans: Suspensions or permanent bans applied directly to a specific user profile (either site-wide by Reddit admins or subreddit-specific by moderators). [1]
          • IP Bans: Blocking a user’s internet protocol (IP) address to stop them from browsing or posting from that network. [1, 2]
          • Ban Evasion & Device Tracking: Reddit uses multiple signals—including tracking cookies, browser fingerprinting, app identifiers, and behavioral patterns—to detect when a banned user tries to spin up a fresh account. While mobile apps can read basic device telemetry, this does not function as a true low-level hardware component (motherboard/CPU/GPU) ban seen in online multiplayer video games. [1, 2, 3]
