  • Reddit is becoming a literal wasteland of dead accounts

    Jump

  • Yeah it's crazy how there is absolutely zero nuance in how they dish out bans. There are no warnings, no second chances, if you break any rule, no matter how big or small, they all carry the same exact punishment and that is an immediate and permanent ban for the rest of your life

  • Reddit is becoming a literal wasteland of dead accounts

    Jump

  • So I get what you're saying, but unfortunately Reddit hasn't reached Myspace levels of dead yet. It's still the 9th most visited website in the whole world, and I unfortunately don't think that's gonna change anytime soon

  • A possible tactic for overcoming a permaban

    Jump

  • Jesus Christ I was not aware of how much data they could gather on me just through internet connection. Even my fucking battery level?

    This website is super impressive though, is there a function on here to be able to tell if I've been blacklisted or IP banned on websites like Reddit? How can I actually utilize this to dodge a ban effectively?

  • Is there any way to get in contact with a Reddit admit regarding a ban?

    Jump

  • This is something I've noticed too. Reddit seems to have quickly moved from an incel haven and into a femcel anarchist's wet dream.

  • Is there any way to get in contact with a Reddit admit regarding a ban?

    Jump

  • That's what I find so bewildering. Like I am on a college campus, and I sign into a new device while using a user agent switcher and get banned instantly. There is absolutely no way they should be able to connect that account to me, so my only assumption is just that if someone signed onto Reddit while being on campus, they are gone and there's nothing they can do about it. Such a ridiculously wide net to cast while trying to catch and punish the most minor of offenses

  • That's such a good point. It quite honestly really feels like the entirety of Reddit is run by a single AI that does not give a fuck about any of its users. It honestly feels like the most corrupt and anti-consumer social media one can use right now

  • I've been able to submit emails to them through a report form but they have never responded to them

  • I have tried everything and I still cannot bypass my IP ban

    Jump

  • I tried Tor once however I did not use a VPN on top of it, would this combination work a lot better?

  • I have tried everything and I still cannot bypass my IP ban

    Jump

  • No I'm in the US. I've sent in an email to Reddit support asking why my original account got banned. Is there anything perhaps in the US similar to what you mentioned that could help even get me unbanned?

    Jump

  • Ok so in other words it would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars

  • I have tried everything and I still cannot bypass my IP ban

    Jump

  • So would it be a better strategy to keep going with the old laptop and virtual machine, but like unplug my router and force my IP to change instead of a VPN? Also, if I make my account at a different location, but return home and sign onto it from there, will Reddit still pick that up? Because if that's the case, will just every account that ever enters my home be instantly banned?

  • What is a Lan House?

  • How do I dodge a permaban?

    Jump

  • Yeah but I don't understand why though. Platforms like YouTube and Twitch constantly have people egregiously ban evading and then making money off them on top of it. Quite honestly out of every widespread social media platform on the internet, Reddit should have by far the most lax moderation/enforcement

  • How do I dodge a permaban?

    Jump

  • I don't understand why they ban with such insane scrutiny. There are people on major platforms like YouTube that continue to make money even after dodging bans, and yet Reddit seemingly has like the most heavily enforced ban system on the internet for a website that is literally for shitposting and asking for advice.

  • What do you mean by KYC'd?

  • How do I dodge a permaban?

    Jump

  • I had my very first post falsely flagged for being fake and taken down by mods which probably led to that first permaban. Also, I don't know if there's a difference in like IPs or whatnot, because I checked and both virtual machines I made had different IPs that were on different sides of the country. Do they both still belong to the same 'house IP'?

  • How do I dodge a permaban?

    Jump

  • So I actually took this advice and did exactly that. Booted up VirtualBox and ran an Ubuntu client and made my Reddit account and it got banned within 5 hours. Now every other account I make on any other virtual machine, regardless of operating system gets banned within an hour

  • Why does my Reddit account get insta-banned every single time I make a new account and post it?

    Jump

  • Jesus that's insane that you even got one permaban overturned. That's stuff of legends right there

  • Why does my Reddit account get insta-banned every single time I make a new account and post it?

    Jump

  • Yeah it really is an awful cycle. The issue is though that there really are no alternatives. I mean I made an account on here because it's the closest thing, but let's be real, it doesn't even come close.

    Especially in the world of gaming and technical questions, literally no site can even remotely compete with Reddit, so I feel like I have zero other options, and instead need to spend hours upon hours making dozens of accounts and finding new ways to bypass their bans because obviously they have various methods in place to ensure that like entire devices, wifi networks, and IPs are banned
