Not only would the IP address already get ya, but reddit is also known to use fingerprinting techniques to get ya.
Small plug, I made a site to check this: bscan.info

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.

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?
the other ways, are using a new IP address and a new device. they also look at posting pattern, writing style, any similar posts you may have done. browser fingerprinting is huge, component. the more you spam or create a large number of accounts, the harder it is to bypass it.. and then you are getting to more expensive territory, purchasing accounts, proxies,anti-detect browsers, this is meant for people earning an income from haivng large amounts of accounts.
using the same IP, reddit easily links all your accounts together. thats why you either use a different IP and a new device, and to further enhance that, dont use the same browser.
reddit is also getting more sophisticated into detecting some of the more expensive methods i mentioned.
It’s like they don’t actually WANT a user base
I think the best tactic is never going back to that shitty website.
Seems like an awful lot of effort for very little reward.
I was just curious if there is a period of time that passes before their system basically purges "banned" IP's. They can't possibly have specific IP's that are forever banned
There are less than 4 billion valid public IPv4 addresses. At 4 bytes per address, a table of banned IP addresses is no more than 16 GB, which is child's play to store these days.
You can compress it further and make a lookup table with 1 bit per public IP address (because you plan on banning a lot of IPs) and the size is reduced by 32x, to 512 MB. Now they can store their ban list in RAM indefinitely
No opinion is so important that it needs to post it to Reddit imo
Maybe not, but there are plenty of small niche communities that only exist at reddit. I'm a fan of some games like Voices of the Void, which has a dedicated reddit community that doesn't exist anywhere else. Also Isekai Demon Waifu, which recently shut down also has a community at reddit.
Lemmy has some generalized gaming communities but nothing like the thousands and thousands of small niche communities that exist over at reddit.
The thing is for some people reddit could be the only interaction they have with other people, so being banned would mean no more interaction
That's what it means for me. Got banned there and most of my interactions came thru there. Hopefully this site can fill that void but i doubt it and this will propably lead to me rarely having any conversations for long periods of time. :/
Same here. I found a small sub for gangstalking that I could vent to and wouldn't be called crazy or have to try and prove what is really happening to me because they were going through it too. I didnt even do anything this time around. Literally woke up one day and my account was banned but didn't get a notification or anything. I just noticed I wasn't getting any replies and reddit was telling me to to update my password but then wouldn't let me.
i had the same thing, afther changing password, allegedly early on there was a possibly glitch when they force you to change password, it lifts the ban. im guessing they fixed that recently.
