Reddit

Be the change that you want to see on Lemmy. Make or participate in a community if you want it here.

You are going about it the wrong way. The ban evasion is not as sophisticated as you make it out to be. Put a VPN or mobile data and create an account with a normal email. Use a normal web browser like firefox. Thats all. Ive been banned like 60+ times. Once you make the account dont comment for a few days and ease into it.

Using tor, vpns, etc makes you stick out. Commenting a ton and being super active makes you stick out. They aren't detecting that it was YOU they banned they are just banning you because you are acting suspicious and botlike.

Frankly, I don't understand why people keep insisting on using that cancer site. The Reddit many of us knew and once loved is gone. It is now just another right wing propaganda machine. Sad, but that's the way it is.

I had all that happen. The initial ban was from AI for inciting violence when discussing JiuJitsu technique.

Welcome!

After the detox period, it's quite nice here.

Hope you're going to find, and create (you'll be amazed how easy it is to pop up communities here, and there is no permanan possible) your future favourite communities here!

Cheers

Reddit doesn't want you. They want bots -- lots of bots -- and bland people who will absorb what the bots tell them. Reddit thinks it will make money that way. Maybe they're right, who knows? All I know is they don't want us there.

Did you vape your browser cache? Take anti browser fingerprinting steps? So how do you think they're identifying you?

vpn isnt going to work anymore, reddit bans most major vpns in general. plus they have definitely increased thier ban evasion detection, besides that they are looking for keywords they deemed doesnt fit the sites narrative, instant delete, or ban.

thier methods of detection usually is looking at your IP, device, its components, the browser, your screen resolution, time and date, fingerprinting. for any similarity.

more advanced methods if you are trying to use other methods IP, like datacenter, they will block of flag the most commonly abused IP datacenters, that uses to rotate around. VPN are so easily flagged by reddit its guaranteed a ban. they will also target genuine behaviour, if your on reddit logged in, are you acting human; posting too fast, or spaamming the same words, style of writing. old inactive accounts and new accounts are extremely susceptible to this type of monitoring.

reddits pratically mostly spam/bots now anyways, they purged way too many users.

the true ban evaders are using paid methods, plus new devices and rotating IP that isnt vpn(mostly mobile proxies), and they are usually using hundreds if not thousands of account at once, and they use this method to market OF or some kind of business they are running, so they can afford it

They banned my alts for just lurking. I never commented a thing. All i ever did was upvote and bookmark on VPN and use the account to access other sites. Such bs

You are still logged in somewhere. You just need a new IP. Everything after that is wrong.

The Reddit of old is long gone. The Mods on most subs are petulant cellar-dwellers. Censorship is off the charts. No thanks.

I encourage your enthusiasm for writing and suggest you just forget about the old site. You can bookmark important conversations/announcements. We don’t have all them niche discussions, but folks ~~such as them~~ can get fucked.

Start your own instances for those that dont exist, we will grow slowly !

Yeah I know any and all accounts I'll ever make on Reddit will immediately be shadow-banned. The old trick of making a new account through your usual email, going on AskReddit, get a few karma points to be in the clear and be on your way is no longer working.

I've been on Reddit for 10-ish years so I'm pretty sure they've long caught on to all behavior patterns. It is ridiculous how much shit gets allowed while you feel like you're the one targeted and banned for being the one playing by what rules there are, as fucking loose as they are.

I can appeal as many times as I want but I'm never getting a response back, because they know they have me by the IP and that's essentially all that they'll ever need. They see me make an account through my IP and it's like "ohp, there they are again...BAN!" kind of deal. I've undergone a complete PC reinstall of Windows to erase all and any of those evercookies they've been practicing to keep those who try ban evading away, still the same thing.

Doesn't matter what e-mail service I use, same thing. Could have gone VPN but I think that didn't work either at one point.

It has just simply gotten ridiculous. And with Spez there, the shitstain, being a proclaimed billionaire now off the backs of everyone expendable, why should he give a single shit about retooling anything? He's done away with APIs that were useful, that was the beginning of the end there if there wasn't before.

I know someone mentioned a method in the comments here as to how to circumvent everything, maybe I'll try that, I guess. Yeah I should be the change and whatnot for the Fediverse but we're 2 years into the matter and I'm not seeing any substantial progression. I see hundreds of potential magazines just float around, dead. While there's like 20 Technology ones, 30 Games ones, 25 more Tech-related ones .etc .etc that make me roll my eyes because it only tells me where the real priorities are.

When the Fediverse should be so much more than that, because Reddit still outclasses it by how many niche and relatively active microcommunities that there is.

Reddit died for me on the day that they banned me within minutes for saying I should be allowed to punch Nazis, you know in an Indiana Jones kind of way. Or a Captain America way if you prefer. I'm pretty sure the thread had something to do with Captain America so it was relevant

Welcome to the multi ban club. I got got twice - once for saying Nazis deserve to be named and shamed, and again for saying the mods of r/Cybertruck are losers.

Created another account with a username almost identical to the one I had that got banned (kind of a dumb move tbh). It lasted for a year and some change before it got banned for evasion. I was surprised it lasted that long.

Since I created and oversaw a subreddit there for a niche community that I am still very much invested in, I created another account (very different username) a few months after I got banned, let it sit dormant for a few more months (a technique often used by bots but hey, reddit doesn't lift a finger for those things!), then used it on a device I've never used any of my other accounts on, also connected to VPN. So far I have not been banned yet but I have only commented on one subreddit, because I genuinely have a question on a game glitch that I can't find help for anywhere else. I'm going to wait a little longer before going back to my niche subreddit to maybe shake them off my tail.

Otherwise though, I'm not rejoining or participating in any other subs I frequented, nor am I going out of my way to flag bots like I used to do. Reddit is dead to me.

I hope more people over there see the light and choke that hell platform of its revenue and influence.

...and that's why I never sub to any subs. I only peek at the All, and ... rarely comment. Almost never upvote. Usage pattern? Dead.

hey hey, welcome. I left my account behind after someone sent me a picture of a dead kid on it and reporting it did nothing.

also, I find this post extremely fascinating on a technical level. if you were using a virtual machine with a VPN I wonder how they were getting the data back.

I lost all my accounts by attrition. I had dozens. Maybe even few dozen.

In spite of trying the rate of replacement was basically zero. As you described it's impossible to make and maintain new accounts.

Take this is an opportunity to wean yourself off reddit. It's worthless anyways.
