I only use Reddit in a private browsing window. When they ban me I use a different browser to create a new email account. Then I reset my private browsing browser's settings to default to clear everything. Then I open another private browsing window and create a new Reddit account and I even have a browser script that automatically re-adds all my subs, which are the only thing I actually care about on Reddit, and I'm back in and using Reddit in less than 5 minutes. Account stays unbanned until I say one of the many, many things Reddit's auto-banning bots will ban you for. Can be a few weeks or a few months.

If it was harder, I wouldn't bother. But it's pretty easy and I can be right back in as a big fuck you to Reddit. Also a fuck you to any mods that banned me from their subs cuz I'm back posting in them again.

    The issue I have with new Reddit accounts is that most of the big subs won't let you post unless you have sufficient karma, which I find galling.

    I'm told they also use Mac addresses and other telemetry to enforce blocks, which wouldn't surprise me as I've had fresh accounts opened in Brave in private mode that have been banned within a week or two.
