Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the “unmoderated” communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

    even if they lifted a ban, people have reported being re-shadowbanned almost quickly anyways, because they dont clean out thier filters, after someone ban has been lifted. you only need to look at reddit wrong to get banned. new users, old accounts are not safe.

    only the determined people will ban evade, have new IP address, new device, and other methods of ban evasions. those that make hundreds if not thousands of accounts to earn money from.

      Yah I went through all that, you have to really clean your browser before and after resetting your IP, and if you use anything connected to your old account you will be immediately shadowbanned, as well as if you use a VPN to sign up, or even to log in.

      I eventually gave up, it’s too much work to interact with bots and brainless people.

        browser canvas size, fingerprinting, they look at your screen resolution, your browser size, the current version, if your browser is minimized,etc. there are ways to hide that, but you probably have to go to a different forums how to do it.

          I heard about that from my darkweb days. It’s amazing how much of a fingerprint everyone leaves. I decided that if I have to fire up TOR and encryption to talk to redditors who are often bots anyway, it’s probably a dead platform
