        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]
