News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I made a post previously about this issue but I wanted to do an update of sorts and see if there is anything new I can do.

Basically about a month ago I got banned off the platform. I do not know why, and they never gave me a reason, no matter how many times I contacted Reddit support, and all appeals were rejected. I can only assume that someone in my apartment got banned and it picked me up too since we share an IP or something. I have since made a few dozen accounts in attempt to dodge this ban and nothing works.

I have gone as far as booting up an old laptop which I haven't used in 3 years, downloading a virtual machine and running Xubuntu through it, connecting to a VPN on both the laptop and the virtual machine, opening up Reddit in Firefox's incognito mode, making a new account through a Tempmail email, and waiting 2 days before commenting on a post to make sure I didn't get flagged as a bot.

Lo and behold, the second I posted that comment, my avatar in the top right disappeared, the page kept telling me I had a server error, and when I looked at my account in another browser, at had told me it had been suspended.

Quite honestly I can't think of a single other thing I could do. Even after all of those steps taken, Reddit was instantaneously able to track me right back to my other accounts. Is there literally anything I can possibly do to ever post on this platform again?

"this guy is trying too hard, must be a banned user"

Try to find some Lan House (there should still be a couple of them around) and make an account from there.

A place where you can rent a PC. Any regular internet cafe or a public library should work too.
