Hello everyone. You're not alone. I got banned like for 4-5 times, using local Ukrainian words that may look like slurs, but they aren't.

I got unbanned, but I am still too scared to write anything about politics on Reddit. I want a working account there for IT questions.

    Make another account then. I have a shit posting account for making comments I know will be dicey. Reddit mods are fat slobs don't let them stop you from living your dreams.

    they will detect your alternate account through fingerprinting you

    it's where I am currently, unable to use any of my 100% wholesome and positively contributing accounts because I shared the opinion of "Oh no, anyways" on a burning Tesla dealership post, got banned from world news with no explanation, asked for elaboration and did not receive it, and then continued to post in that sub with another account.

    did I ban evade? yes. did I first attempt to find out why I was banned? yes. was I ignored and thus continued to participate with other accounts, being careful to say nothing even close to provocative with those accounts? yes.

    didn't matter. they identified it as the same account, they banned it.

    I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the "secure folder" and that's basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn't ban you.

    Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this "secure folder" thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it's working well, I've left a few comments and such and haven't been shadowbanned.

    Now I'll probably won't post or do much on it anyways, I'm committing to use it less and less, but I can't really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

    Yeah me too. Honestly I like knowing that I CAN use it if needed, specially if there's an obscure IT question I might need help with. But having it on a whole other phone let's me not want to use it because it would mean having a whole other device to take care of battery and ughh you lost me there , so that's my compromise, I keep it on my desk turned off until needed

    How do you patch to remove ads?

    Get the apk from apk mirror and then patch it using ReVanced manager

    I recognize this as English.

    I'll have to look into everything you said here. I may be old, but I'm always game to learn new tricks. Thanks.

    This is too much effort. I'll wait and see if the Digg reboot is worth using.

    It won't be. It can't be. It will have to monetize, then it will have to restrict, and you end up with the same problems Reddit has.

    I was watching a "Town Hall" sort of thing on YouTube with the founders behind the reboot. They seem like the sort of people who are too rich not to be detached from the perspectives of the common person. So I think you're probably right.

    My solution is to browse subreddits without signing in so whenever I go to up vote or down vote anything I can't and think, "oh right," then go back to Lemmy (which is quickly becoming a higher quality experience anyways).

    Reddit mods are fat slobs who can be easily duped, but Reddit algorithims will autoban you for making new accounts.

    I'm basically exiled from it until I decide to get a new device and sign in on a new network other than my home or my work.

    Luckily, I've never had issues with reddit mods, but I received a f*ck ton of global bans on r/reddit_ukr (getting carpet bombed by russian bots and the half of the comments are [deleted])

    It's the time to discover the fediverse ig. Btw any ideas where I can dump a ton of random IT memes?

    I guess my advice wasn't anygood, hardware bans and ip can go in effect if you get banned. I love Lemmy, but this community is still a young, subs for a lot of niche hobbies and shit posting dont really exist...yet.

    I use voyager and kept scrolling through the reconmended sub's list until I found something I was looking for. The search feature is hit or miss, I didnt find anything for IT memes.

    they keep banning any other accounts I made there over being linked with the first one. I have tried unique email addresses and everything but they still figure it out within 24 hours, even when I 'm not allowed to post anything. So I just dont use reddit at all anymore.

    you probably need to use a new device and on a network you havent frequently used. Unique email addresses dont mean anything if you're logging in with the same browser with the same cookies and "digital footprint"
