This guide will go over the basics of how to circumvent reddit's ban system in order to bring more transgender and leftist people to the fediverse (which will be much safer for them). This guide is largely useful for other websites too, though the fediverse is more resilient to these methods due to the manual entry process on most sites.

Things you'll need to download:

  • Tor Browser

  • Mullvad Browser

  • ProtonVPN (or a VPN of your choice, Proton is the best free VPN/email, the best paid VPN is probably Mullvad and can be hyper anonymous if you need it). It is suggested that you use a separate Proton account for your VPN than for your anonymous email. If you're super paranoid and breaking a lot of laws, you can have your TOR connection end with a VPN in order to mask your TOR traffic to reddit, but that is outside the scope of this guide.

What to think on to be effective:

  • A target. Certain subreddits and communities may house more leftists and trans people.

  • Contradictions. What are differences between the base of the community and the moderators? What are differences between the base of the community and the content on reddit?

What not to do:

  • Do not change the base configuration of any of the browsers (besides a fully local editor such as Dark Reader), they're perfect as they are 💖

  • Do not ever turn off the VPN while conducting activities.

  • Do not ever access your Proton anonymous email without TOR Browser.

Steps:

  1. You need an anonymous Proton mail account.

  2. Open up Tor Browser.

  3. Go to YOPmail. This is a temporary email site with new domains every day. Proton is vigilant about these services, so you may need to try different domains for your temp mail, such as in this table.

  1. Go to proton.me in Tor Browser and sign up using the temp mail. If they block you, try a different domain until it sends an email to the temp mail.

  2. Now that you have a Proton account, go to Proton Pass. As always, only access the Proton account with Tor Browser. Create a new email alias, you will be using aliases for any new reddit account you make.

  • Caveat: Proton may ask for further verification by detecting that you used a temp mail after signup. Go to emailnator.com in TOR and get a temporary gmail address to use for receiving verification, then turn off the recovery option.
  1. Open up Mullvad Browser and be sure your VPN is turned on. You can check if your IP is leaking on sites like ipleak.net.
  • Q: Why Mullvad Browser? Its base configuration is good, and if you use private browsing, reddit will be incapable of building a fingerprint on you, which is the second way it can ban people via tracking. Be sure to save passwords in KeepassXC or a password manager of your choice. Reddit also blocks sign-ins from TOR Browser (due to its superior anonymity), but do not block VPNs, and Mullvad Browser is best used with VPNs.

  1. Make a reddit account with your proton email alias. This should be fairly straightforward, sometimes reddit will ask for a lot of captchas. Do them, it'll work eventually. Go to your main proton inbox (in TOR browser) and handle the verification email.

  2. Done! You are now ready to agitate for a leftist cause. Reddit communities and reddit itself often have a ban on participation until you reach a certain karma level or account age. The easiest way to bypass this is to go to a meme subreddit, find an old meme, and (lmao) repost it. You'll get thousands of upvotes immediately and easily bypass the spam filter. You can also make accounts in bulk in order to accrue time.

With good knowledge of macros, its even possible to set it up so that you can make accounts with one press of a button.
