    I have been known by so many users names in Reddit. You can just create a new account.

      No I cannot. I am blocked. Not banned.

        How does blocking work when it’s pretty easy to get a new MAC address and IP while also using a different browser like Mullvad’s? Or even use an entirely different device on an entirely different network?

          Tried that. Didn’t work. I have tried tons of different IPs with different mac addresses and tons of different browsers and even tried signing up entirely in a virtual machine. At best my account will stay up until I start posting and joining subreddits and it can detect who I am based on how I use the site/what I type.

            Are you using the same network for those different approaches? If so, it could be your network. That or you have quite a unique online fingerprint. I’d be curious to know what it is they do when blocking someone, that’d make it much easier to work around.

              Changing networks doesn’t work either.

                    Reddit has many ways to detect evasion, including device ID. After a year, the chances of detection might be even lower.

          reddit doesn’t block just using ip, they also detect ban evasion by user behaviour
