Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You asked a straight-forward question and got irrelevant responses you didn't ask for based on their own priorities... As they're browsing a Reddit community... on Lemmy. Weirdman. There are other reasons to be on Reddit, obviously, and you can simultaneously grow this community while having a foot there as well.
To answer your question: To my knowledge, Reddit uses a mixture of IP banning, Web Browser fingerprinting, and behavioral analysis (e.g., which subs you frequent, upvote, etc.). I think the IP ban only lasts so long — some things I've read after 100 days (except original registration IP)? After all, IPs are not often static for an individual or may be a gateway for many users. Which is why they associate an IP with a web browser fingerprint. They not only pull the cookies, but additional info independent of cookies about the browser used but other information like your computer monitor setup are utilized.
TOR browser used to work, but Reddit changed their log-in page and its CAPTCHA requirements fuck with its log-in.
VPN + Incognito alternative browser from what you traditionally use, or if you really want to get fancy, a VM instance. DO NOT use your phone that was linked to your banned account either to log on. Alternatively you may be able to request a new IP from your ISP? You basically have to come up with a scenario that gives a plausible scenario that you are a different user than the other person who was banned.
Yeah I agree, besides ban evading is the ultimate "fuck you" you can give reddit why would you want to stop? (Besides it being a pain in the ass ofc I myself gave up for the time being but still)
