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.

Goatse and Mr Hands are making a “cum” back.

Oh and that jar guy, yikes!

Not in every instance, but a completely blank slate aka no browser ID and a new device fingerprint would be suspicious on it’s own.

This makes sense and I like to write and have been on reddit well before the Digg exodus I can seeing that throwing up red flags

While it wouldn’t link it back to your old users, at least initially as the machine algorithm doesn’t have enough data yet. Doing anything that doesn’t really fit into a profile of a new user, will get you shadowbanned, but the appealing process for that doesn’t work. Artificial ageing could work as the detection algorithms ramp down after some time.

Again this makes sense, also old references like Aaron\the ratio (and I think it was in play as I made a recent comment on him) would label me an old fag.

Yeah they have really ramped up detection and banning with new machine algorithms, starting somewhere late last year or beginning of this year.

They started nuking all my accounts w/ no email, so I went Protos. They are working w/ reddit as they nuked one of my new emails w/ they need my state ID or its not usable. This is after I made a reddit account around about 20m before.

Though there aren’t any official documents on how exactly it’s done, for obvious reasons thats kept as a secret. It’s mostly collated by user reports who have trial and error it to try to bypass detection and lots of googling and moderators reports.

Well if I can figure out a way to sink their ship I would keep those cards close to the chest.

So if you’re really bored you can try to refine it even more. Make a VM, create a fake history on it, make a reddit user, leave it marinate for few months, slowly start to interact and see what happens then. Just report back.

I’ll try the VM next, I’ll piggy back on another wifi network to see if I can get it to fly. Or I’ll take the VMs on the road, old school WARDRIVING.

Go to Trump subs and call him out, they don’t ban unless you make threats

Go to state\city subs in blue states and tell them how you love ICE and Orange Man good.

Talk shit any geekdom sub, make up plot holes that don’t exist. They will nerd rage out on you big time.

Say shit that gets both side going. Feminist subs are the best…

/no wonder I keep getting banned on there

Oh and dog out china in /ccp /sino /china and talk up Taiwan/Japan/Korea they totally lose their shit…

Chaos is a ladder, please post links.

I’ve been screaming about “Text Analysis” since spell check became a thing. They all called me paranoid and I was BS they are making a database on your misspellings as thats an easy DB to put together.

Then South Park vindicated me on Emoji tracking. Yeah they dumbed it down, but we all got it.

OPSEC/COMSEC, acronyms I know all to well and its a a pain in the ass.

1. Local IP is out as I use a VPN (that I no longer trust). I never run anything w/o it and I flip servers all the time (10-30x a day)

2. This is where it falls down and I was going to go pure VM’s for reddit as I like to screw w/ certain groups. So the VPN hides the IP and the digital finger print is out as I clear everything when I shut down my VMs. So that works against me.

3. Thats prolly what happened. He has logged in here enough to see the pattern.

They denied my appeal so its clandestine time because some groups on reddit need to be checked from time to time.

Wait so if I VM’ed it would likely trip off the behavioral analysis as I would blank out my history in every instance? Also probably the device finger print?

The world is getting Draconian.

Company before my last provided phones as they were super paranoid about 3rd part software. Righty so as its a huge telecom company. Wasn’t a great phone, it pissed me off more that I had to carry 2 phones when on call/at work.

Next company is 2x times bigger and known to the worst in my field. I needed a quick job and the shit started from day 1. I didn’t last 6 months. But I did keep them off my phone, even thought it was tech obsolescence that kept them off :)

And the killer bit was the company owns a cellphone company! No freebee’s in fact the 1st couple of months there my boss or higher up bosses would send me emails to switch over to them. Dickhead that owns the company wanted 100% of the employees to be subscribers.

Fuck that lol

I’ll check it out, I do say I like the lemmy old view vs the FB/New reddit feed. I just have to get out there and load up on all my favorite subject for the subscribed feed.

I never like endless reddit so thats not an issue.

But will check out piefed and see how its navigation is. Thank you!

When Aaron passed away and Ellen came on reddit went to hell in a hand basket.

And Spez went full retread…

Never happen at the rate they are banning people for nothing… Myself included.

Oh wait, bots, thats how they will do it.

I will say the one great thing to come out of this is coming back to Lemmy. Its different but I’ll get used to it. I was on here previously just didnt take at the time.

As a GenX’er I agree 100%

Now the band is pretty good to imo.

Just happened to me, but mine was no fault of my own. Buddy was using my wifi and commented in a sub I’m banned in.

His account got banned and 4 of my other accounts got the B& hammer. I appealed but I doubt the will reverse.

With a VPN, I have no idea how they can see round the VPN as I log out, change my location, then log into another account.

(I have multiple accounts as I like to keep politics/hobbies/local subs/and NSFW all separate. Been doxxed more than once.)

Now they have some time 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 use a VPN. Kinda makes it useless if it doesn’t work as advertised.

Its #2, I caught a sub reddit ban, a friend logged into my wifi and accessed the banned sub, one single post. His account and all my accounts were permabanned for “ban evasion”.

I have an appeal in but I doubt it will go anywhere.

My old job tried this w/ my personal cell phone (for logging in). I told them where to go with that. Then they threatened a layoff, so I had to relent while I looked for another job. Turns out my phone was too old to support the software.

They can’t force me to upgrade and they were too cheap to buy me a new phone. They found a work around real quick as I couldn’t do my job and they had to double me up w/ a coworker (OT). less then 24hrs later I was back on the network. And quit a few months later.

IT people were beside themselves, they were “you don’t upgrade your phone ever new release” I was like F that noise I climb antenna’s for a living, at no point to I need the latest and greatest to be an antenna monkey.

Aaron was reddit, and since his passing its shit now.

RIP Mr Swartz, you are sorely missed.
