How does reddit track you? (lemmy.ml)

Soooo. I was banned for telling a extreme right wing dickhead that he was an asshole. Yeah I shouldn't have but whatever. (yes I've appealed it and failed)

Now all my sub accounts are also banned.

Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)

I read it's just IP based but my flat has 3 others that use reddit daily and they are fine so surely it's device ID and email linked to device. Etc

Sorry to ask here guys but it's wracking my brain.

Legit that's all. Last suspension was for the same thing. Never threatened anyone just eh I don't agree with your opinion type shit.

The subreddit that got me banned was very right wing so I guess it's my fault. But damn if that isn't censorship then what is.

Damn bro even with those comments I wouldn't ban you?

Well my plan was new device, email, phone number. Only use that device if I'm on reddit.

Don't follow the same subreddits and just try shut my mouth (isn't the point of reddit is to share your opinion? Good or bad?)

Damn didn't realise just how much of a data scraping fiend reddit is. Such a shame. Used to be a good site for freedom of speech!

Ah I'm confused I hate every other sm platform. Yes buying a new device is stupid but if I can evade the ban then this feeling of being silenced can go away,

It's bloody weird how I feel right now but I hate it lol. Legit feel like I'm in a room full of people and I just can't talk..

I've legit thought fk it ill pay someone to make an acc and post a bit then go from there.

But feels a bit extreme tbh.

    I promise youll miss very little posting/commenting here and just reading on reddit, I realized most of my time spent on reddit the last 5 years was reading. So many comments and posts there that anything id say or ask is already said/asked.

    I only miss the blender sub, was helpful sometimes and ppl sometimes dont ask how the op did something I want to learn (theyd usually respond and tell you how)

    League of comic geeks replaced the comic sub for me, enjoying it, the one here is decent for responses but no one really posts. No one talks about hotas here but that freed me from the curse of warthunder because I forgot about it and stopped playing. Gamedev communities def fire there, but plenty of alternative forums for that. Same with blender, some communites. I do miss daily episode discussions on date of release, need to find a replacement for that.
