A couple months ago my account was permabanned (was not provided a reason) from the site and I have since been trying to make a new one. The problem is though that every single time I make a new account, it is either instantly suspended or suspended a couple hours later. So far I have tried: -Unplugging my router for a few minutes to change my IP -Clearing all of my cookies -Making the account on a very old device (which has never logged into Reddit before) -Using a brand new email -Making the account on Duckduckgo which has encrypted connections

Mind you, I did all of these together, at the same time, and Reddit still was able to instantly link my account to it. Is there a single thing I can possibly do to avoid this ban and make a new account? It seems like Reddit has like CIA-level technology that is somehow able to track me regardless of how many ludicrous holes I try to jump through.

    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’?

      They shouldn’t. They also check against user agents, browser extensions, and view window size, and probably a bunch of other identifing marks. Maybe it’s picking up on those?
