I got banned after 15 years for asking why we can't organize to cyberbully Trump's current head of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_%28political_advisor%29?wprov=sfla1

This was in response to the White House calling Garcia a terrorist on their Twitter account.

    I was ahead of the curve, and got banned in October 2024 for Promoting violence when I said "If a president decided to betray America's allies, and start directley helping Russia in its wars of conquest, America would probably end up with a dead president"

    They basically told me to fuck off on my appeal, I had told them A) I wasnt threatening anything, and B) moderation is getting politically triggered and biased. and they permabanned me.

    and I have since been Hardware banned from my main PC and my work PC, I still want to go back for some of the niche communities that havent emigrated over here yet, but I really cant be bothered to go and fire up a 8 year old laptop or something just for fucking reddit. its a cesspit and getting banned is largely a blessing in disguise.

    Since when does reddit take a hash of your hardware?

    that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they're doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,

    I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id'd for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever

    They absolutely get your IP and probably some cookie data saved on your computer. Not sure about phones, those are privacy nightmares. I got tagged for trying to get around an IP ban on a sub, so they absolutely track that. Cleared all cookies and trackers, unplugged my modem for a few hours so my ISP would issue a new IP, and once I verified that I had a new IP I was able to use the sub under a different account.

    I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.

    Same account? Sure. New account? I’m surprised.

    I've tried so many methods that ended in failure, I just gave up and learned to live without

    different devices, AFAIK my work PC, personal desktop and both my old and new phone are probably comprmised somehow

    tried using incognito mode, different browsers, coupled with different emails. even caved and tried a VPN,

    always ended the same way. Make the account, and it gets shadowbanned as soon as I post. Even tried posting in completely different subs instead of the usual suspects.

    until I commit to getting a burner laptop or some other device, they got me . I just dont care enough to go that extra step, its fucken reddit. the only thing reddit is good for is niche interest communities, hobbies, etc. the usual swill with News Politics and Sports is just blood pressure raising brainrot

    There's a reason why most of the people still there and ostensibly on the left are doomers. Reddit won't tolerate anyone else. This also has the effect of encouraging more people to become doomers and not take any action.
