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.

      KYC = know your customer

      There laws imposed on businesses esp banks that require them to do basic diligence on who they serve. Ie can’t be banking cartels and terrorists

      In this context, reddit won’t let you have an account unless they can tie it to an identity. This is my opinion based on my own experiences along with stories like OP.

      Classic tool used for KYC for online services is your phone number but an email will work to if you use a lot.
