Reddit banned my fucking accounts last week for 'ban evasion' so I've been using VPNs, changing user-agent, etc. and no luck. What is to be done?

    I guess it must be fingerprinting something. You can test your browser here

    You'll probably go mad trying to become non-fingerprintable though. Probably easier to spin a vm running a fresh installed browser though your vpn.

      So would you say a re-installation of Chrome would work?

        No, I'm suggesting that you browse on a virtual machine in which your browser will be configured differently than your main operating system.

    If you have a different PC or old phone, use that. You're almost certainly being fingerprinted, which includes spying on what you have installed on your computer or phone.

      Do they require a mobile number? Last time I made a new account about a year ago, they asked for a number but I could just skip it.

    Piggie backing off my previous, now removed comment:

    lmao get fucked.

    I prob have to explain to not get it removed again, but grace is the person who deleted r/genzanarchist after they wouldn't let her mod the discord server, so now she hates anarchists. so yeah, sectarian who destroyed the only good subreddit for petty personal reasons got banned and that's based.
