Holy hell Reddit is invasive. Got banned a few years ago. Went to make a new account and within a day it was banned. New email, new computer... how the hell do they have way too much information on you? It's actually kinda scary how insidious those fuckers are.

The answer is Google.

Reddit has the Google login integration and advertiser id.

Your Gmail account and Google advertising id has de-anonymized you

    Thank you for actually answering the question. The rest of these kids sound like they belong on Reddit.

    Yeah I’m sorry that some people can’t support the discourse

    Yeah, it's the "other people" at fault here, and not the OP telling people to kill themselves because he didn't like their reply

    Well I’m not monitoring their behaviour either, I just wish people could have a little more empathy.

    Times are tough for everyone.

    Often people giving you a hard time are HAVING a hard time. It’s not an excuse, it’s just unfortunate

    Same house? Your public IP might be logged as a red flag.

    IP bans aren't a thing anymore. You can literally just restart your router to get a new one.

    Ip bans may not be a thing, but IP reputation absolutely is. Just because you change your public address there is a good chance you will be allocated on in the same block and also get it reallocated back to you in the future.

    With CGN being such a big thing in countries exhausting their V4 address space restarting your router may not switch your public address

  • In 13 years and 47 accounts there, i haven't had a single ip ban, its a cookie they set and if you use the stupid ass "app" they use the Device ID, other than that they use Google and Appstore verification of some sort (basically the Google/Apple Account is bound to your reddit app and to all accounts you use the app with)

    Sounds much more likely that you got banned again for breaking ToS and didn't learn your lesson from the first time lol

    100% this. OP went right back in with the same pudgey 4chan frequenter bullshit that got them banned last time, got banned, and is now over here crying about it. What a loser.

    Interestingly I used to mod a subreddit, which shut down when the third party app controversy came to light in protest. I went to see if it ever reopened, and it's no longer even in existence as a Google search result. Just gone.

    Nice parroting the bandwagon buzzwords. Got any thoughts of your own inside that single brain cell?
